SEN Tutor

SEND Tutor - Flexible 1:1 Work in Nottinghamshire

Pay: £30-£42 per hour | Part-time or Full-time | Nottinghamshire

BrightTeach works with children and young people who need something different from mainstream education. As a SEND Tutor, you will support learners one to one, helping them feel more confident about learning and more settled in themselves.

This role is mostly face to face and involves planning sessions that suit the individual rather than following a set programme. Some students may be anxious, disengaged, or have had difficult experiences in education. Having a calm, reliable adult who shows up regularly can make a real difference.

Tutors often say they enjoy the pace of this work and the chance to focus properly on each learner. Progress can be slow at times, but it is meaningful and easy to see.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide in-person educational tuition to children and young people with SEND needs (at times, tuition is provided online; however, the majority is face to face).

• Plan, prepare, and teach a range of bespoke and student-centred lessons to ensure student engagement and progress.

• Establish SMART targets for all learners and regularly review progress against these.

• Design interventions that will support both the emotional and academic engagement of students.

• Safeguard the welfare of students, including following the defined safeguarding processes in line with our safeguarding policy.

• Ensure regular reporting of attendance, progress, and behavioural presentation relating to your students following each session.

• Carry out risk assessments of environments and activities to ensure student safety

• Attendance and participation at multi-agency meetings and staff CPD opportunities

Who we are looking for

• Qualified Teachers with a teaching qualification (QTS) or practitioners with significant classroom experience.

• Significant experience supporting students with SEND in either the primary, secondary or college sector.

• Engaging educators who are knowledgeable, passionate, and have an understanding of how to engage and motivate learners who may have experienced challenges in their educational journey.

• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or be willing to have a DBS check taken out on you.

• The completion of safeguarding training/knowledge of safeguarding, and of creating a safe learning environment.

• Excellent subject knowledge.

• Excellent written and communication skills.

• Ability to work independently.
