Many of the learners we support are unable to access mainstream education and may have needs relating to SEND, SEMH, autism, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, medical conditions, behavioural challenges, or EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance).
Whether you're an experienced SEND tutor, a classroom teacher looking for a new direction, a supply teacher seeking greater flexibility, or an experienced support worker, this is an opportunity to make a genuine difference through personalised 1:1 tuition and mentoring.
Support is delivered on a 1:1 basis with both primary and secondary-aged learners, and we'll always aim to match you with the age groups and types of students you feel most comfortable supporting.
Most tuition takes place face-to-face within a student's home or in a suitable community setting, with occasional online opportunities where appropriate.
We expect a high volume of referrals from September onwards, with opportunities ranging from just a few hours each week through to regular ongoing work that can be close to full-time, depending on your availability and the needs of individual learners.
