Job Description:

Location: North Tyneside / Online
Role: 1:1 SEN Tutor
Hours: Flexible - 2-6 hours per day
Booking via: Tradewind Recruitment

Are you an experienced tutor, teacher or education professional looking for a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to a young person's education?

Tradewind Recruitment are currently looking for 1:1 SEN Tutors across North Tyneside to provide personalised tuition to children and young people who require additional support with their education. Tuition can be delivered face-to-face or online, depending on the needs of the individual student.

Working in partnership with North Tyneside Council, you will support learners who may be unable to access mainstream education or who require additional 1:1 support. Many of the students will have EHCPs, SEND, SEMH needs, ASC, ADHD or other additional needs and barriers to education, so we are looking for patient, adaptable and engaging educators who can build positive relationships and tailor their approach to each individual learner.

As a 1:1 SEN Tutor, you will provide personalised tuition sessions designed around the individual needs of each student, helping them to re-engage with education, rebuild confidence and make progress towards their individual academic and personal targets.

Students may have a range of additional needs, and tuition will often require a flexible and individualised approach. This could include adapting lesson content, breaking learning down into manageable steps, using different teaching strategies and working towards targets outlined within a student's EHCP or individual education plan.

Depending on the learner, tuition may cover subjects including:

• Maths

• English

• Science

• GCSE-level subjects

• Functional Skills

• Other core curriculum subjects

Sessions can be delivered in person across North Tyneside or online, with the number of hours varying depending on each student's individual needs and referral.

This offers excellent flexibility, with the opportunity to take on individual students or build up a larger weekly timetable depending on your availability.

The ideal tutor will have:

• Previous teaching, tutoring or educational support experience

• Experience supporting children or young people with SEND or additional needs

• Experience working with learners who may struggle to access mainstream education

• A good understanding of the primary and/or secondary curriculum

• The ability to adapt sessions to suit individual learning needs, abilities and learning styles

• An understanding of EHCPs and working towards individual outcomes and targets

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

• A patient, nurturing and consistent approach

• The ability to build trust and engagement with students who may have had difficulties within education

• The confidence to work independently and deliver engaging 1:1 sessions

• Relevant teaching, tutoring or subject-specific qualifications and/or experience

• The ability to deliver tuition face-to-face and/or online

Experience working with students with EHCPs, SEND, SEMH, ASC, ADHD, learning difficulties, communication needs or other additional needs would be highly beneficial.

Experience within SEN schools, alternative provisions, PRUs, specialist settings or 1:1 SEN tuition would also be advantageous.

A teaching qualification such as QTS or QTLS would be advantageous but is not essential. We welcome applications from teachers, tutors, HLTAs, teaching assistants and experienced SEN professionals who have the relevant skills and experience.

• Flexible 1:1 tuition work to fit around your availability

• Face-to-face and online tuition opportunities

• Opportunities available throughout North Tyneside

• Opportunities to support students with a variety of SEND and additional needs

• The ability to build up your hours by supporting multiple students

• Support from our experienced Durham team throughout your placements

• All tuition and placements organised through Tradewind Recruitment

If you are an experienced educator looking for flexible 1:1 tuition work and would like to support children and young people across North Tyneside or online, including learners with SEND and additional educational needs, to re-engage with education and achieve their potential, we'd love to hear from you.
