Are you passionate about supporting children and young people with SEND and SEMH needs? Do you thrive in a personalised learning environment where you can make a genuine difference?

We are working in close partnership with a Pupil Referral Unit in Wokingham to provide specialist 1:1 tuition and mentoring support for pupils across Berkshire and the surrounding areas. Due to an increasing number of referrals, we are looking for compassionate, dedicated, and experienced SEND/SEMH Tutors to join our growing team.

This is a highly rewarding opportunity to support pupils who are unable to access mainstream education, helping them to re-engage with learning, build confidence, and achieve positive educational outcomes through tailored, individualised support.

Every young person deserves the opportunity to succeed. As a 1:1 SEND/SEMH Tutor, you will play a vital role in helping pupils overcome barriers to learning by delivering personalised tuition that meets their academic, social, and emotional needs.

With a steady flow of referrals across Berkshire, you'll benefit from flexible working opportunities alongside the chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of young people.

As a 1:1 SEND/SEMH Tutor, you will deliver face-to-face tuition and support to primary and secondary-aged pupils with a range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

Tuition sessions may take place in:

• The pupil's home
• Community settings such as libraries or learning hubs
• Other suitable educational environments

You will be responsible for:

• Planning and delivering engaging, individualised 1:1 tuition sessions.
• Adapting your approach to meet each pupil's unique learning style, needs, and abilities.
• Supporting pupils with both academic progress and emotional wellbeing.
• Building positive and trusting relationships with pupils and their families.
• Helping pupils develop confidence, resilience, motivation, and independence.
• Implementing strategies to overcome barriers to learning and encourage engagement with education.
• Monitoring pupil progress and providing session feedback and reports where required.

You will work with pupils presenting with a variety 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
• Behavioural challenges
• Communication and interaction needs
• Moderate and complex learning difficulties

Many of the pupils we support have become disengaged from mainstream education and require a patient, flexible, and nurturing approach to help them rediscover a love of learning.

We're keen to hear from Tutors who have:

• Experience working with children and young people with SEND and/or SEMH needs.
• The ability to deliver personalised 1:1 support that meets both academic and pastoral needs.
• A good understanding of neurodiversity and additional learning needs.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• A patient, empathetic, and adaptable approach.
• Experience supporting pupils who may be reluctant to engage with education.
• The ability to create a safe, positive, and encouraging learning environment.

We welcome applications from:

• Qualified Teachers
• SEND Tutors
• Teaching Assistants
• Learning Mentors
• Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs)
• Youth Workers
• SEND Specialists
• Other experienced education professionals with relevant SEND/SEMH experience

Availability across multiple weekdays is highly desirable due to the high volume of referrals we receive throughout Berkshire and the surrounding counties.

• Flexible part-time hours to suit your availability.
• Competitive hourly rates based on experience.
• Consistent referrals and ongoing tuition opportunities.
• Immediate starts available.
• Opportunities extending throughout the academic year and beyond.
• The opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and young people.
