SEN Tutor

We are looking for a skilled, compassionate tutor who can provide gentle, flexible support to a young person in year 2, S, who is currently managing both PDA-related needs and the emotional impact of a recent family bereavement. The right tutor will understand how to prioritise emotional safety, connection, and low-demand approaches while helping S re-engage with learning at a pace that feels manageable for them.

Hours:

2 hours every Tuesday morning

Please note , due to S's current emotional readiness, initial sessions may need to be shorter.

The intention is to increase hours gradually as trust, confidence, and tolerance build.

Location:

Dorset

Start:
As soon as a suitable tutor is identified

What We're Looking For

-Experience supporting PDA profiles and an understanding of low-demand, collaborative approaches

-Experience supporting children or young people through grief

-Minimum 6 months' experience delivering UK curriculum learning

-A calm, patient, relationship-focused approach

-Ability to adapt sessions responsively based on S's emotional capacity

-Someone who values connection over curriculum pressure, especially in the early stages

About S
- -S is a bright young person who has recently experienced a significant bereavement.

-Parents are understandably cautious about his readiness and want a tutor who can pace sessions gently, follow his lead, and prioritise emotional wellbeing.

-Building trust will be essential, and the family is committed to increasing learning time as S confidence grows.

If you have the relevant experience and feel you can offer the sensitive, flexible support S needs, please get in touch with details of your background, approach, and availability
