Job Description

Are you passionate about supporting young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)? Do you enjoy helping students build confidence, develop essential skills, and achieve positive outcomes through personalised support?

Quantum Scholars is seeking a dedicated, patient, and compassionate SEND Secondary Tutor to provide tailored 1:1 tuition and educational support to secondary-aged pupils in Wokingham.

This rewarding role offers the opportunity to work closely with young people who require alternative provision or additional support outside of a mainstream classroom setting. Through engaging and individualised learning sessions, you will help students overcome barriers to education, re-engage with learning, and make meaningful progress both academically and personally.

We welcome applications from tutors, teachers, teaching assistants, learning support assistants, SEND practitioners, youth workers, mentors, and other professionals with experience supporting young people with additional needs.

As a SEND Secondary Tutor, you will deliver one-to-one educational support to secondary-aged pupils who are currently unable to access mainstream education or who require additional intervention to support their learning and development.

You will plan and deliver engaging sessions tailored to each student's individual needs, abilities, interests, and learning style, while also promoting their confidence, wellbeing, independence, and engagement with learning.

Sessions are typically delivered during school hours and may take place in the pupil's home or another suitable community setting.

The young people we support may have a range of additional needs, including:

• Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
• Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
• ADHD
• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs
• Speech, language and communication difficulties
• School anxiety, avoidance, or refusal
• Behavioural and emotional challenges
• Medical needs affecting 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 meet individual needs and abilities
• Support students with core subjects, particularly English and Maths
• Build positive, trusting relationships with students and their families
• Encourage confidence, resilience, independence, and engagement with learning
• Support emotional regulation and positive learning behaviours
• Monitor progress and provide feedback where required
• Create a safe, inclusive, and nurturing learning environment
• Promote positive routines and educational participation
• Liaise with parents, schools, and professionals when appropriate

• Flexible part-time opportunities
• Competitive rates of pay
• A rewarding role with visible impact on a young person's progress
• Greater flexibility and autonomy than traditional classroom-based positions
• Dedicated support from an experienced and supportive team
• Opportunities to work with a variety of learners across Wokingham and surrounding areas
• The chance to make a lasting difference in the lives of young people who need additional support

• Experience working with children or young people with SEND or additional needs
• Experience in tutoring, teaching, learning support, mentoring, youth work, pastoral care, or a similar role
• 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 within Wokingham and surrounding areas

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