Job Description:

Tradewind Recruitment - Sheffield

IMPORTANT: You must hold a full UK driving licence and have access to your own vehicle for this role.

Location: Sheffield & surrounding areas
Pay: £25-£35 per hour, depending on experience
Contract: Full-time | Term Time Only

Tradewind Recruitment are looking for a dedicated 1:1 SEN Tutor to provide personalised educational support to KS3 and KS4 pupils who require additional support to access learning.

A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle are essential, as the role involves travelling to support pupils across Sheffield and the surrounding areas.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced teacher, tutor, Teaching Assistant or education professional who enjoys working on an individual basis and can adapt their approach to meet the needs of each pupil.

The pupils you will be supporting may have SEN, SEMH needs, autism, communication difficulties, behavioural challenges or a history of disengagement from education. Some pupils may be working towards GCSEs, while others may require support to re-engage with education and develop the skills and confidence needed for their next stage.

The successful candidate will be able to build positive relationships quickly and create a learning environment where pupils feel safe, supported and motivated to learn.

As a 1:1 SEN Tutor, you will work closely with KS3 and KS4 pupils, delivering personalised sessions based around their individual needs, abilities and educational targets.

You will support pupils to:

• Re-engage with education and develop a positive attitude towards learning
• Work towards individual academic targets and, where appropriate, GCSE outcomes
• Develop confidence, independence and resilience
• Improve literacy, numeracy and wider academic skills
• Support access to the KS3 and KS4 curriculum
• Prepare for GCSE examinations or other appropriate qualifications
• Manage barriers that may prevent them from accessing education
• Develop positive relationships with adults and their wider support network
• Prepare for a successful return to school, college or their next stage of education

Sessions will be tailored to each individual pupil, meaning you will need to be creative, flexible and patient in your approach.

We are looking for someone who has:

• A full UK driving licence and access to their own vehicle - essential
• Previous experience working with children or young people, particularly KS3 and/or KS4 pupils
• Experience supporting pupils with SEN and/or SEMH needs
• Strong knowledge of the secondary curriculum
• Experience delivering 1:1 tuition, intervention or personalised educational support
• Ideally, experience supporting pupils working towards GCSEs
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• A calm, patient and nurturing approach
• Confidence managing challenging behaviour and barriers to learning
• The ability to adapt lessons and resources to suit individual needs
• A genuine passion for helping young people re-engage with education

Previous experience within SEN schools, Alternative Provision, PRUs, tutoring, intervention programmes or specialist education settings would be highly desirable.

This role offers the opportunity to work closely with individual KS3 and KS4 pupils and make a genuine difference to their educational journey.

Rather than working with a large classroom, you will be able to focus on the individual needs, interests and strengths of each pupil. You will have the opportunity to build trust, raise aspirations and help pupils make progress both academically and personally.

For pupils who may have struggled within mainstream education, your support could be the key to helping them re-engage, rebuild their confidence and achieve their potential.

• £25-£35 per hour, depending on experience
• Full-time, term-time opportunities
• 1:1 working with KS3 and KS4 pupils
• The opportunity to develop your SEN and Alternative Provision experience
• Ongoing support from your dedicated SEN Consultant
• A rewarding role where you can make a direct impact on a young person's education

If you are an experienced secondary teacher, tutor or education professional, hold a full UK driving licence, have access to your own vehicle and have a passion for supporting KS3 and KS4 pupils with additional needs, we would love to hear from you.
