We are seeking a qualified teacher (QTS) or an experienced unqualified SEND practitioner to provide 1:1 support for a pupil with significant social and emotional needs. This is an immediate start opportunity, offered on a full-time or part-time basis depending on the successful candidate’s availability.
In this role you will be providing 1:1 support for a Year 3 pupil within a primary school setting in Merton. The pupil is currently being educated at home due to significant trauma, and the Headteacher is seeking to support a carefully planned and gradual reintegration into structured school-based learning. This is a highly individualised role, with the pupil taught on a dedicated 1:1 basis away from the main classroom environment.
The pupil presents with highly complex needs and may display distressed, challenging, and at times physically aggressive behaviour. As such, the successful candidate must have significant experience supporting pupils with SEMH needs, trauma-informed approaches, and behaviours that challenge. Resilience, consistency, and the ability to build trusting relationships over time will be essential. The ability to remain calm under pressure, effectively de-escalate situations, and maintain a safe, predictable learning environment is critical.
