Make a Meaningful Difference to Young People’s Lives

Are you an experienced SEND professional with a passion for supporting children and young people with additional needs?

We are working in partnership with a Pupil Referral Unit in Wokingham to deliver high-quality alternative provision across Berkshire and the surrounding counties. Due to a growing number of referrals, we are seeking dedicated and skilled Specialist SEND Tutors to join our expanding team.

This is a rewarding opportunity to work with pupils who require a personalised educational approach, helping them rebuild confidence, overcome barriers to learning, and achieve positive outcomes both academically and personally.

As a Specialist SEND Tutor, you will provide bespoke, one-to-one tuition to pupils of primary and secondary age who are unable to access mainstream education full-time or who require additional support outside of a school setting.

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

• Planning and delivering personalised learning programmes tailored to individual needs
• Differentiating teaching approaches to support a range of learning profiles
• Building positive, trusting relationships with pupils and families
• Supporting engagement, confidence, resilience, and independence
• Implementing effective strategies to address barriers to learning
• Monitoring progress and providing clear feedback and reports where required

You will work with learners presenting with a wide range 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
• Communication and interaction difficulties
• Behavioural challenges
• Complex learning needs

Many of the pupils referred to our service have experienced significant challenges within education and benefit from a nurturing, flexible, and highly individualised approach.

We are looking for professionals who have:

• Experience supporting children or young people with SEND and/or SEMH needs
• A strong understanding of neurodiversity and inclusive practice
• The ability to engage learners who may be reluctant or disengaged from education
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• A patient, empathetic, and adaptable approach
• Experience delivering personalised teaching, tutoring, mentoring, or intervention programmes

• Qualified Teachers
• Specialist SEND Tutors
• SENCOs
• Teaching Assistants
• Learning Mentors
• Youth Workers
• Behaviour Support Practitioners
• Other experienced SEND and education professionals

Due to the volume of referrals received across Berkshire and neighbouring counties, availability across multiple days each week would be highly advantageous.

• Flexible working arrangements to fit around your availability
• Competitive hourly rates based on experience and qualifications
• Regular referrals and consistent work opportunities
• Immediate starts available
• Ongoing opportunities throughout the academic year and beyond
• Support from an experienced and dedicated team
• The opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable young people
