Make a Meaningful Difference to Young People's Lives
Are you an experienced SEND professional with a passion for supporting children and young people with additional needs?
We are working in partnership with a Pupil Referral Unit in Wokingham to deliver high-quality alternative provision across Berkshire and the surrounding counties. Due to a growing number of referrals, we are seeking dedicated and skilled Specialist SEND Tutors to join our expanding team.
This is a rewarding opportunity to work with pupils who require a personalised educational approach, helping them rebuild confidence, overcome barriers to learning, and achieve positive outcomes both academically and personally.
The Role
As a Specialist SEND Tutor, you will provide bespoke, one-to-one tuition to pupils of primary and secondary age who are unable to access mainstream education full-time or who require additional support outside of a school setting.
Sessions may take place in:
* The pupil's home
* Community venues such as libraries or learning hubs
* Other appropriate educational settings
You will be responsible for:
* Planning and delivering personalised learning programmes tailored to individual needs
* Differentiating teaching approaches to support a range of learning profiles
* Building positive, trusting relationships with pupils and families
* Supporting engagement, confidence, resilience, and independence
* Implementing effective strategies to address barriers to learning
* Monitoring progress and providing clear feedback and reports where required
Pupils You Will Support
You will work with learners presenting with a wide range of needs, including:
* Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
* Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs
* Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
* ADHD
* Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)
* Anxiety and other mental health needs
* Communication and interaction difficulties
* Behavioural challenges
* Complex learning needs
Many of the pupils referred to our service have experienced significant challenges within education and benefit from a nurturing, flexible, and highly individualised approach.
About You
We are looking for professionals who have:
* Experience supporting children or young people with SEND and/or SEMH needs
* A strong understanding of neurodiversity and inclusive practice
* The ability to engage learners who may be reluctant or disengaged from education
* Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
* A patient, empathetic, and adaptable approach
* Experience delivering personalised teaching, tutoring, mentoring, or intervention programmes
Applications are welcomed from:
* Qualified Teachers
* Specialist SEND Tutors
* SENCOs
* Teaching Assistants
* Learning Mentors
* Youth Workers
* Behaviour Support Practitioners
* Other experienced SEND and education professionals
Due to the volume of referrals received across Berkshire and neighbouring counties, availability across multiple days each week would be highly advantageous.
What We Offer
* Flexible working arrangements to fit around your availability
* Competitive hourly rates based on experience and qualifications
* Regular referrals and consistent work opportunities
* Immediate starts available
* Ongoing opportunities throughout the academic year and beyond
* Support from an experienced and dedicated team
* The opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable young people
