Quantum Scholars is working with Hillingdon Council to recruit experienced and compassionate SEND Tutors to provide personalised one-to-one support to children and young people across West Drayton and the surrounding areas.

As an approved Alternative Provision provider, we work with young learners who are currently unable to access mainstream education due to a range of additional needs. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference by delivering tailored, face-to-face tuition that helps learners rebuild confidence, re-engage with education and work towards positive outcomes.

Sessions are generally delivered in learners' homes or suitable community settings during school hours.

• Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)
• Medical needs
• Social, emotional and behavioural challenges
• Other additional learning needs

We are looking for tutors who are confident building positive, trusting relationships and who can adapt their approach to suit each individual learner. Creating a calm, encouraging and supportive environment is key to helping every young person reach their potential.

The Role

As a SEN Tutor, you will:

• Deliver engaging, personalised 1:1 tuition in learners' homes or community settings
• Support learners across subjects including English, Maths, Science and more
• Plan and adapt sessions around each learner's ability, interests and educational goals
• Build confidence, independence and a positive approach to learning
• Provide academic, emotional and pastoral support where appropriate
• Work flexibly during school hours, Monday to Friday

We are particularly interested in hearing from tutors based in Uxbridge, Hayes, West Drayton, Ickenham, Ruislip, Northwood, Hillingdon, Yiewsley, Cowley and the surrounding areas, where we are seeing an increasing number of learner referrals.

• Experience supporting children or young people with SEND
• Previous experience as a SEND Tutor, Teacher, Teaching Assistant (TA), Learning Support Assistant (LSA), SEN Teaching Assistant, Behaviour Mentor, Support Worker, Youth Worker, or in a similar role
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• The ability to adapt teaching and learning strategies to individual needs
• A patient, empathetic and flexible approach
• An Enhanced DBS certificate, or willingness to obtain one
