SEN Tutor

* Wanted: Extraordinary SEN Tutor to Empower Extraordinary Young Minds *

Location: Leeds and surrounding areas

Salary: Competitive

Hours: Flexible - you're in charge!

Start Date: September 2025

Are you the missing piece in a child's learning puzzle?

We're on the lookout for a patient, creative and compassionate SEN Tutor who sees the individual, not just the label. If you believe every child can learn - just not in the same way or on the same day - this is your calling.

Wondering what you'll be doing?

• Work 1:1 with students with a range of additional needs (e.g. autism, ADHD, dyslexia, speech and language challenges, SEMH needs)
• Design and deliver bespoke, engaging learning sessions that play to each student's strengths
• Build trusting, consistent relationships that support emotional regulation and confidence
• Liaise with families, schools and professionals to ensure joined-up support
• Adapt, improvise and sometimes dance in silly ways to keep a child engaged (optional, but encouraged!)
• Keep records of sessions and monitor pupils' progress.

Who are we looking for?

• Someone with proven experience working with children or young people with special educational needs
• Someone with a deep well of empathy and a sense of humour
• Relevant qualifications (QTS, PGCE, or specialist SEN training preferred - but attitude and experience can shine just as brightly)
• Confident to plan independently and respond flexible to student needs
• A belief in progress over perfection

What's in it for you?

• Supportive consultant that genuinely gets it
• Access to CPD Academy and Thrive Training
• Opportunities to make a measurable impact - every single day
• A role where no two days are the same and every small victory feels huge

Real Talk:

We don't just tutor - we champion, we scaffold, we celebrate. If you're looking to tick boxes, this isn't for you. But if you're ready to change lives in a quiet, consistent, powerful way ... we can't wait to meet you.
