In‑Person Tutor – Support & Empower School‑Refusing Students
Flexible hours | Highly rewarding | Term‑time only | SEN, Mental Health, and Behavioural Support
Are you a compassionate, patient, and experienced educator who wants to make a real difference?
We’re seeking dedicated In‑Person Tutors to support children and young people who are currently unable to attend school due to special educational needs (SEN), behavioural challenges, or mental health difficulties.
You’ll work with school‑refusing students in a 1:1 setting, offering tailored academic support that helps them re‑engage with learning and rebuild confidence.
- What the Role Involves
- Deliver 1:1 tuition sessions during school hours (typically between 9:00AM and 3:00PM, Monday to Friday).
- Work with students who are out of school, often in their homes or community settings.
- Support each learner across key subjects (e. g., English, Maths, Science), using personalised, creative teaching methods.
- Focus on rebuilding trust and engagement with learning, not just academics.
- Communicate closely with parents/carers, schools, and support professionals to track and promote progress.
- Log student outcomes and feedback clearly to support each learner’s journey.
- Hours & Flexibility
- Most students receive 6–15 hours of tuition per week.
- Work is scheduled during school hours, so your evenings and weekends are free.
- We can offer additional hours by assigning you more students if desired.
- Ideal for those seeking flexible, meaningful part‑time or term‑time work.
- Who We’re Looking For
- Experience tutoring or teaching children—especially those with SEN, SEMH, or behavioural needs.
- Confident working independently and managing a flexible timetable.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport and trust with challenging learners.
- Resilience, creativity, and patience—every student is different, and progress takes time.
- Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one) and safeguarding knowledge essential.
- A driving licence and access to transport is often required for travel to student locations.
Many of the students you’ll work with have been out of school for months, even years.
Your sessions may be their only consistent educational support.
This role isn’t just about teaching—it’s about showing up, believing in them, and helping them believe in themselves.
Ready to be the difference?
If you’re passionate about helping young people who need extra support—and you want flexible, meaningful work that fits your schedule—we’d love to hear from you.
