About the Role
We are seeking a patient, consistent, and highly skilled SEN Tutor to deliver 1-to-1 therapeutic and academic support for a primary pupil during afternoon sessions. The pupil is currently on a reduced timetable and requires a supportive bridge to build learning resilience, emotional regulation, and confidence.
You will work closely with the pupil near their home/school environment, delivering chunked academic learning alongside therapeutic and sensory strategies.
Key Responsibilities
Deliver tailored 1-to-1 instruction in primary English and Maths (working pre-ELG/Reception level for Literacy and Year 2 level for Maths).
Adapt all written materials to meet visual impairment guidelines (printing resources on yellow paper and using enlarged fonts).
Implement sensory integration strategies, including running sensory circuits to assist with emotional regulation.
Provide structured, scaffolded learning using concrete resources and high levels of overlearning to aid retention.
Adapt communication styles to support delayed receptive and expressive language by using simple language, visual aids, and extra processing time.
Maintain clear, consistent boundaries while involving the pupil in decision-making to build a trusting relationship.
Utilise short, bite-sized learning modules (e.g., 10-15 minute tasks) to support low attention spans and build self-esteem.
Requirements & Qualifications
Experience:
Proven track record of tutoring primary-aged pupils with complex SEN needs, including Autism, ADHD, sensory processing difficulties, and high anxiety.
Communication Skills:
Demonstrated ability to adapt language for pupils with speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN).
Behavior & SEMH:
Experience managing emotional dysregulation, sensory-seeking behaviors, and flight responses using positive reinforcement and clear boundaries.
Visual Impairment Awareness:
Ability to follow guidance from visual impairment specialists to adapt learning materials.
Background:
A background in youth work, therapeutic education, or primary SEN teaching is strongly preferred.
DBS:
Enhanced Child Workforce DBS check registered on the Update Service (or willing to obtain one).
