Hearing Impairment Tutor

Are you the kind of educator who sees the child behind the behaviour? Do you understand that progress isn't always reflected in neat ticks and tidy grades, but is sometimes measured through trust, resilience, and the small wins achieved each day? We're looking for dedicated tutors in the Chadwell St Mary (Essex) area who are seeking more than just a timetable; they're looking to make a genuine impact.

We are seeking a dedicated Tutor or TA experienced in working with students with Hearing Impairments. This is not a role where you simply deliver a worksheet and leave. Instead, you'll be:

• Building strong, professional relationships
• Creating structured and safe learning environments
• Supporting both academic progress and emotional regulation
• Providing a consistent and reliable presence for each pupil

To be considered, you must be able to commit to:

• A minimum of 10-15 hours per week
• Core working hours typically between 8:30 am and 3:30 pm
• Availability from Monday to Friday

Consistency is essential for both our pupils and the wider professional team supporting them. Our tutors do more than teach—they communicate effectively and professionally. You will be responsible for:

• Accurately recording attendance
• Monitoring and documenting pupil progress
• Providing updates that can be shared with schools and other professionals
• Maintaining clear, accurate, and professional records

Your observations may directly contribute to EHCP reviews, school planning, and wider multi-agency decision-making, so strong attention to detail is essential. We welcome tutors from a range of backgrounds, including:

• Private tuition
• Mainstream or specialist schools
• Alternative provision
• Youth work or pastoral roles

The qualities that matter most are:

• Strong behaviour management underpinned by empathy
• Experience supporting pupils with SEMH or other complex needs
• Professional written and verbal communication skills
• Reliability and resilience
• Confidence working independently

Success in this role isn't always measured by academic outcomes. Sometimes, progress means:

• A student remaining engaged throughout an entire session
• Completing work without escalation
• Beginning to trust a supportive adult again

If you recognise these as meaningful achievements, you'll fit right in.

Meaningful and purposeful work, consistent daytime hours, the opportunity to make a genuine difference to young people's educational journeys, and supportive communication with a wider professional network await you.

This is tutoring with depth, responsibility, and real impact. If you're ready to make a meaningful difference in a young person's week and can commit to consistent hours in the Thurrock area, we encourage you to apply.
