SEND Specialist Tutor

Job Title: SEND Specialist Tutor

Job Description:

Prospero Teaching is seeking a dedicated and experienced SEND Specialist Tutor to deliver bespoke tuition packages on a 1:1 basis to young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) who cannot currently access mainstream education.

The Opportunity:

We are looking for inspirational tutors to support children and young people with SEND. Many children with SEND have been disengaged with their learning. We support pupils who have struggled to stay in the classroom, who feel too anxious to go to school, or whose needs aren't sufficiently supported at school.

As a SEND Specialist Tutor, you must be able to create, plan, and deliver 1:1 tailored lessons to bridge gaps in pupils' education and boost attainment levels. You may be an experienced tutor or teacher or have experience of working with children in a therapeutic way. One of your aims will be to support and re-engage a pupil in their learning, offer structure back into their daily routine, continue their educational development, and return to school.

The tuition is replacing school for these young people and is normally part-time, taking place during school hours, five days a week. Prospero will work with you closely to monitor the progression with each pupil by asking you to submit weekly reports.

Experience, Training, and Qualifications:

• QTS or equivalent
• Possess UK classroom teaching experience
• PECS/Makaton training preferred but not essential
• Be creative, patient, and willing to think outside of the box
