SEND Mentors, Tutors & Support Workers – Wokingham Area
Quantum Scholars is expanding its network of SEND Tutors, Mentors, LSAs, Teaching Assistants, Behaviour Mentors, Youth Workers, Pastoral Support Staff, and Support Workers across Wokingham and the surrounding area.
With a substantial increase in EOTAS and Alternative Provision referrals expected from September 2026, we are now looking to grow our local team ahead of the new academic year. We anticipate a wide range of flexible opportunities becoming available across the area.
Many of the young people we support are currently unable to access mainstream education and may have needs relating to SEND, SEMH, autism, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, medical conditions, behavioural challenges, or EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance).
Whether you’re an experienced SEND tutor, a classroom teacher looking for a change, a supply teacher seeking a more flexible role, or someone already working in a support capacity, this is an opportunity to make a genuine difference through personalised 1:1 tuition and mentoring.
Support is delivered on a 1:1 basis with both primary and secondary-aged learners, and we’ll always aim to match you with the age groups and types of students you feel most confident supporting.
Most sessions take place face-to-face in a student’s home or within a suitable community setting, with occasional online opportunities where appropriate.
Hours are flexible and vary according to your availability and local demand. Some individuals choose to work just a few hours each week, while others build towards regular ongoing assignments that can be close to full-time.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience supporting children or young people
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- A calm, patient and adaptable approach
- Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)
- Ability to travel across Wokingham and the surrounding area
What We Offer
- Flexible opportunities around your availability
- Ongoing referrals throughout the academic year
- Face-to-face work with occasional online opportunities
- Meaningful work supporting vulnerable young people
- Competitive rates, dependent on experience
Please note that applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. Visa sponsorship is not available for these opportunities.
If you’re looking for flexible, rewarding work where you can have a lasting impact on a young person’s confidence, education, and future, we’d love to hear from you.
