Job Description

Are you passionate about helping children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) reach their full potential? Do you thrive in a role where you can provide individualised support, build meaningful relationships, and positively impact a student's educational journey?

At Quantum Scholars, we are looking for dedicated, empathetic, and adaptable SEND Education Tutors to deliver bespoke 1:1 tuition and intervention support to pupils across Slough and the surrounding Berkshire area.

This is a rewarding opportunity to work closely with learners who require alternative educational provision, helping them overcome barriers to learning, rebuild confidence, and achieve positive outcomes both academically and personally.

We welcome applications from individuals with experience in education, mentoring, youth work, pastoral care, SEND support, alternative provision, tutoring, teaching assistance, and other child-focused roles.

As a SEND Education Tutor, you will work on a one-to-one basis with primary and secondary-aged pupils who are currently unable to access mainstream education or require additional support beyond the classroom environment.

You will create engaging, tailored learning experiences that meet each student's unique needs, interests, and learning style while supporting their overall wellbeing and personal development.

Sessions are typically delivered during school hours and take place either in the pupil's home or within appropriate community settings.

The young people we support may present with a range of needs, including:

• Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
• Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
• ADHD
• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs
• Behavioural and emotional challenges
• School avoidance, school refusal, and anxiety
• Medical conditions impacting school attendance
• Gaps in education due to exclusion or alternative provision placements

• Deliver high-quality, personalised 1:1 tutoring sessions
• Plan and adapt learning activities to suit individual needs and abilities
• Support pupils in core subjects, including English and Maths
• Foster positive relationships built on trust, consistency, and encouragement
• Promote confidence, resilience, independence, and self-esteem
• Support emotional regulation and positive engagement with learning
• Monitor progress and provide feedback where required
• Create a safe, nurturing, and inclusive learning environment
• Encourage positive routines, attendance, and educational participation
• Work collaboratively with families, schools, and other professionals when appropriate

• Flexible part-time opportunities that can fit around your existing commitments
• Competitive rates of pay
• A genuinely rewarding role where you can see the direct impact of your work
• The opportunity to support students in a personalised and meaningful way
• Greater autonomy and flexibility than many traditional school-based positions
• Diverse assignments across Slough, Windsor, Maidenhead, Bracknell, Wokingham, Reading and the wider Berkshire area
• Ongoing support from a dedicated and experienced team
• The chance to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged learners

We are seeking individuals who are:

• Passionate about supporting children and young people with additional needs
• Patient, resilient, and able to adapt their approach to different learners
• Confident in managing challenging behaviours and supporting emotional needs
• Strong communicators with excellent relationship-building skills
• Committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children

• Experience working with children or young people with SEND or additional needs
• Background in tutoring, teaching, mentoring, youth work, pastoral support, intervention work, or similar roles
• Enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one
• Full Right to Work in the UK
• Ability to travel to in-person sessions across Slough and surrounding Berkshire areas

Please note that we are unable to provide Skilled Worker visa sponsorship for this position.

If you're looking for a flexible and rewarding role where you can help young people overcome educational barriers, rediscover a love of learning, and achieve their potential, we'd love to hear from you.
