You'll work with vulnerable young people, one at a time, on their terms - none of the teaching-at-scale trade-off, less admin, just one person and the part of teaching you care about. We're recruiting experienced SEND tutors in Suffolk, £28 - £35 per hour, for one-to-one tuition with children and young people who've fallen out of mainstream education, or never been properly served by it.
Flexible schedule: Most placements are a few sessions a week (time-limited part-time engagements), with more hours sometimes available.
Work from home: hybrid placements available.
Professional development: Unlimited Tes professional development library, plus our own SEMH-focused courses.
Community events: Online drop-ins, knowledge-sharing sessions, and a real tutor community.
How we work: We meet each young person where they are - engagement before attainment, child-led. Trauma-informed tuition that's transformative, not a gap filler - trusted by Local Authorities and schools across the UK.
Tuition details: One-to-one tuition in English, Maths, or Science to children aged 4-18, referred by Local Authorities and schools. Sessions typically 1-2 hours, in-person - often in the home, sometimes in school or a community setting, occasionally hybrid, usually within school hours. Many are out of school or at risk of being so.
Experience: 2+ years' teaching or tutoring, including substantial hands-on work with SEMH, ADHD, ASC, MLD, SLD, or other SEND needs.
Qualification: QTS or QTLS, or an equivalent specialist teaching qualification. Confidence teaching English, Maths, or Science at one or more Key Stages.
It is a strict requirement that you have the ability to work in a way that promotes the safety and wellbeing of children and young people.
Compliance: Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this) and two professional references.
Invoicing and payments: Paid monthly via an auto-generated invoice you approve in our tutor portal.
We welcome tutors from every background and want our network to reflect the communities our learners come from.
Referral scheme: Our referral/introducer scheme pays a fee to anyone who recommends a tutor who goes on to complete a first lesson.
You may have worked as SENDCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator), SEND Teacher, Special Needs Teacher, Special Needs Tutor, 1:1 Tutor, Home Tutor, Alternative Provision Tutor, Reintegration Tutor, Intervention Specialist, Inclusion Coordinator, or a mainstream/class teacher including Maths, English or Science with SEND experience.
