About the Role
Quantum Scholars is recruiting compassionate, dedicated, and experienced Specialist SEN Tutors to provide high-quality 1:1 tuition for pupils requiring Alternative Provision or Education Otherwise Than at School (EOTAS).
We work closely with a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) in Wokingham and are currently experiencing a high demand for tuition referrals. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of young people who are unable to access mainstream education.
Tuition sessions take place on a one-to-one basis, either in the pupil’s home or at a local library, helping pupils to engage with learning, build confidence, and achieve positive outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver engaging and personalised 1:1 tuition sessions tailored to each pupil’s individual needs.
- Support pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including autism, ADHD, SEMH needs, anxiety, and other additional needs.
- Adapt teaching strategies and resources to meet varying learning styles and abilities.
- Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils to encourage engagement and progress.
- Monitor and record pupil progress, providing regular feedback where required.
- Maintain professional communication with parents, carers, schools, and referral partners.
- Ensure all safeguarding and health and safety procedures are followed at all times.
Requirements
- Previous experience working with children or young people with SEND.
- Experience delivering tuition, teaching, mentoring, coaching, or educational support.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- Patient, empathetic, and adaptable approach to supporting learners.
- Ability to plan and deliver engaging sessions tailored to individual needs.
- Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one).
- Right to work in the UK.
Desirable
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), PGCE, or equivalent teaching qualification.
- Experience within Alternative Provision, PRUs, or specialist educational settings.
- Knowledge of EHCPs and SEND strategies.
What We Offer
- Flexible working opportunities that fit around your availability.
- Consistent referral opportunities through our partnership with local educational providers.
- The chance to make a meaningful impact on the educational journey of vulnerable young people.
- Ongoing support from the Quantum Scholars team.
If you are passionate about supporting young people with additional needs and helping them achieve their full potential, we would love to hear from you.
