JOB OVERVIEW

We are seeking a highly reliable, resilient, and proactive

SEN Tutor to work 1

1 with a 15-year-old boy across home, school, and community settings.

PLEASE NOTE

This is a purely educational tutoring role, not a personal care position. It is an extraordinary opportunity for an ambitious practitioner to work directly alongside multidisciplinary specialists and make a profound impact on a young person’s development.

The child is a calm, kind, and inquisitive learner who reads and writes around Key Stage 2 level. He is deeply rewarding to teach and motivated to connect with those around him. His primary area of focus is speech clarity, expressive language, and functional communication.

As the SEN Tutor you will support his progress, the family with support, have built a collaborative, evidence-based home and school programme guided by a multi-disciplinary team, including a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA with 15+ years of experience), a Speech and Language Therapist, and an Occupational Therapist.

The family need someone proactive, dynamic, and emotionally mature—never passive. While you will work within a structured, evidence-based curriculum, you will be expected as the lead tutor to actively review how concepts are delivered, bring fresh ideas to the table, and constructively challenge how things are taught to optimise his engagement. Outstanding communication, punctuality, and personal accountability are non-negotiable.

Prior ABA experience is NOT required. Above all, we value strong practical SEN experience, high personal standards, and a genuine passion for learning.
