• 1:1 SEND Nurture Teacher - Alternative Provision & Outreach | Torquay
• Start: ASAP

Job Description Still Love Teaching, But Looking for a Different Way to Do It?

Not every child can currently access learning in a classroom. And not every experienced educator wants their next role to look like traditional classroom teaching.

SEND Inclusion Support is looking for an experienced Nurture Teacher to deliver personalised 1:1 education to children and young people across Torquay, Torbay and the surrounding areas.

You'll work with pupils who need education to meet them where they are - sometimes quite literally.

Teaching may take place in the young person's home, within the community or another agreed learning environment.

This isn't about recreating a traditional classroom in a different location.

It's about understanding the individual young person, removing barriers to learning and helping them experience success in education again.

Who Will You Teach?

For some, getting back to learning may begin with rebuilding trust, confidence and routine.

For others, you'll be ready to introduce more structured curriculum learning, adapting activities to their interests, abilities and starting points.

Your teaching needs to respond to the pupil in front of you.

You Bring the Teaching Expertise. We Give You the Framework.

Working individually doesn't mean working alone.

You'll use SEND Inclusion Support's bespoke Nurture Curriculum, a semi-formal curriculum developed specifically for pupils who may not currently be able to access mainstream education.

It provides the structure and progression behind your teaching while giving you the flexibility to adapt sessions around each pupil's needs, interests and starting point.

You'll plan and deliver engaging, meaningful learning experiences, recognising that progress doesn't always begin with an academic target.

And you won't be left to plan everything from scratch.

You'll have access to

This Could Suit You If

You're an experienced teacher, tutor or education practitioner who has developed strong SEND knowledge and now wants to use that expertise in a more personalised and flexible setting.

You may have worked within a special school, alternative provision, SEND unit or mainstream SEND provision, or have substantial experience supporting pupils with autism, SEMH, EBSA or complex needs.

QTS is desirable but not essential.

We're also interested in experienced tutors and education practitioners who can demonstrate the skills and confidence to deliver high-quality, personalised education independently.

A Different Kind of Teaching. A Different Kind of Progress.

Sometimes progress means completing a piece of work.

Sometimes it means a young person engaging in a session for the first time, developing confidence or beginning to believe that education might be possible for them again.

Both matter.

This is an opportunity to step away from whole-class teaching without stepping away from education.

If you'd like to use your experience to help individual children and young people re-engage with learning, rebuild confidence and make progress at a pace that works for them, we'd love to hear from you.
