Job Description

Location: Berkshire and surrounding areas
Hours: Part-Time, Flexible
Pay: Competitive hourly rate (dependent on experience)
Start Date: Immediate referrals available and from September

We are working in close partnership with a Pupil Referral Unit in Wokingham to provide specialist academic tuition across Berkshire and the surrounding areas. Due to an increasing number of referrals, we are looking for compassionate, dedicated, and experienced SEN Academic Tutors to join our growing team.

This is an incredibly rewarding opportunity to support children and young people who require alternative provision, helping them re-engage with learning, develop confidence, and achieve positive educational outcomes through personalised academic support.

Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed. As an SEN Academic Tutor, you'll deliver tailored one-to-one tuition that enables pupils to overcome barriers to learning, build essential academic skills, and reach their individual potential.

With a steady flow of referrals across Berkshire, you'll benefit from flexible working alongside the opportunity to make a genuine difference in young people's lives.

As an SEN Academic Tutor, you will deliver personalised, face-to-face academic tuition 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
• Within a community setting such as a library or learning hub

You will be responsible for:

• Planning and delivering engaging, individualised academic lessons in core subjects, including English, Maths and Science where appropriate
• Adapting teaching strategies to meet each pupil's learning needs and abilities
• Building positive, trusting relationships with pupils and their families
• Supporting pupils to improve confidence, resilience, motivation, and independence
• Implementing strategies to overcome barriers to learning and re-engage pupils with education
• Monitoring progress and providing clear feedback and reports following sessions

You will work with pupils presenting with a variety of additional 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 you support may have become disengaged from mainstream education and require a patient, flexible, and personalised approach to help them rediscover a love of learning.

We're keen to hear from Academic Tutors who have:

• Experience teaching or tutoring children and young people with SEND and/or SEMH needs
• Strong subject knowledge, particularly in English, Maths and/or Science
• A good understanding of neurodiversity and additional learning needs
• The ability to build positive relationships with pupils who may be reluctant to engage with education
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• A patient, empathetic, and adaptable approach
• Experience delivering personalised educational programmes that support both academic progress and personal development

Applications are welcomed from qualified Teachers, SEN Tutors, SEN Specialists, Teaching Assistants, Learning Mentors, Youth Workers, Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs), and other experienced education professionals.

Availability to deliver tuition across multiple days per week is advantageous due to the high volume of referrals we receive throughout Berkshire and 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 into the next academic year
• The chance to make a lasting impact on the educational journey of children and young people

If you're passionate about delivering high-quality academic support to pupils with SEND and SEMH needs and want to help young people overcome barriers to learning, we'd love to hear from you.
