Your pupils may present with Autism, ADHD, Bipolar or other complex needs, and you’ll blend academic teaching with therapeutic techniques to boost both knowledge and emotional resilience.

- Keep accurate records of attendance, progress notes and session reflections
- Liaise with parents, carers, teachers and local authorities on targets and achievements
- Maintain safeguarding, health & safety and GDPR standards at all times
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience tutoring or teaching SEN/SEMH students in one-to-one, PRU, mentoring or alternative provision settings
- Strong knowledge of Autism, ADHD and emotional-regulation strategies
- Skilled in using therapeutic techniques (counselling, mentoring, art therapy, mindfulness and youth work approaches) to foster trust and engagement
- Excellent verbal and written communication—making complex ideas accessible and enjoyable
- Patient, resilient and adaptable with outstanding behaviour-management skills
- Valid Enhanced DBS (on the update service, or willing to obtain)
- Full UK driving licence and access to a car (preferred)
What We Offer
- Immediate start with ongoing referrals through the local authority
- Flexible, face-to-face hours that you control—fit work around your life
