Summary

Location:East SussexPay:£30-£42 per hourContract:Flexible Hours | Face-to-Face Tuition

Not every child thrives in a traditional classroom. Some need a quieter environment, a different teaching approach or simply someone who can take the time to understand how they learn best.

At BrightTeach, we're looking for dedicated SEND Tutors across East Sussex who can provide personalised education to children and young people who need additional support.

Whether you're an experienced teacher looking for greater flexibility or a SEND professional passionate about individualised learning, this is an opportunity to make a real difference.

Rather than managing a full classroom, you'll focus on the needs of individual learners, adapting your teaching to their abilities, interests and personal circumstances.

Your responsibilities will include:

Delivering engaging, face-to-face tuition on a one-to-one basis.

Supporting learners with autism, ADHD, SEMH needs, learning difficulties and other additional needs.

Planning lessons around individual learning levels and educational objectives.

Helping young people rebuild confidence, motivation and positive attitudes towards education.

Setting achievable learning goals and monitoring progress.

Adapting resources and teaching methods to overcome barriers to learning.

Maintaining accurate session notes, attendance records and progress reports.

Working collaboratively with families, education professionals and other agencies.

Completing relevant risk assessments and following safeguarding procedures.

Occasional online tuition may also be required where appropriate.

We're interested in hearing from individuals who understand that successful SEND tuition requires patience, creativity and the ability to build trust.

You could be:

A qualified teacher looking for flexible, individualised teaching opportunities.

An experienced SEND practitioner with a strong educational background.

A tutor with experience supporting children who struggle to engage in mainstream education.

An education professional confident in adapting lessons for different learning needs.

You'll need strong communication skills, good subject knowledge, the ability to work independently and a commitment to safeguarding.

QTS is desirable, although applicants with substantial relevant teaching or classroom experience are also encouraged to apply.

An Enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one, is required.

One of the biggest advantages of SEND tutoring is the opportunity to concentrate on what matters most: helping an individual learner progress.

With BrightTeach, you can benefit from:

£30-£42 per hour, depending on the opportunity.

Flexible hours to suit your availability.

Personalised, one-to-one teaching rather than whole-class delivery.

Opportunities to support learners with a wide range of educational needs.

Guidance and ongoing support from an experienced team.

Access to continuing professional development.

The satisfaction of seeing progress that goes beyond academic achievement.

For some learners, progress might mean completing a maths activity independently. For others, it could be attending a full session, communicating their needs or beginning to enjoy learning again.

Every achievement matters.

If you have the experience, patience and enthusiasm to help children and young people overcome barriers to education, BrightTeach would love to hear from you.

Apply today to explore flexible SEND tutoring opportunities across East Sussex.
