About Us: Every child is different, but one deserves the best start to life.

We can provide the right educators to span the whole course of a pupil’s learning journey, from tutors to learning support workers, mentors and SEND specialists.
Role Overview: As an Outreach Tutor, you will work closely with students who require a tailored approach due to complex needs or challenging circumstances. You will provide flexible, high-quality, 1:1 or small-group tutoring sessions in community settings, students' homes, or occasionally online. This role is ideal for a compassionate, resilient, and creative educator who thrives on building trusting relationships and adapting teaching methods to meet each student's unique needs.
Key Responsibilities:
- Deliver personalized tutoring sessions aligned with each student’s learning goals, often supporting core subjects like English, math, and science.

- Foster positive relationships that encourage students to engage in learning, manage emotions, and build confidence.
- Use creative and flexible approaches to overcome barriers to learning, drawing on trauma-informed and therapeutic techniques where possible.
- Collaborate with parents, caregivers, school staff, and other professionals to support each student’s progress and create a holistic learning environment.
- Maintain accurate records of each session, tracking attendance, progress, and any behavioural or academic challenges or achievements.

- Experience: Previous experience working with SEN students or those who experience dysregulation. Experience in outreach, one-to-one tutoring, or alternative education settings is highly desirable.
- Qualifications: A teaching qualification or degree in education, psychology, or a related field is preferred. Additional training in SEN, trauma-informed practices, or behavioural management is a strong advantage.
- Skills: Excellent communication, patience, adaptability, and emotional resilience. Must be skilled in building rapport with young people, setting boundaries, and maintaining a calm, supportive environment.
- Commitment: A passion for helping students with complex needs achieve positive outcomes and a willingness to travel within the community to meet students in convenient, comfortable locations.
