Wanted: Extraordinary SEN Tutor to Empower Extraordinary Young Minds *
Location: Leeds and surrounding areas
Salary: Competitive
Hours: Flexible - you're in charge!
Start Date: September 2025
Are you the missing piece in a child's learning puzzle?
We're on the lookout for a patient, creative and compassionate SEN Tutor who sees the individual, not just the label. If you believe every child can learn - just not in the same way or on the same day - this is your calling.
Wondering what you'll be doing?
Work 1:1 with students with a range of additional needs (e.g. autism, ADHD, dyslexia, speech and language challenges, SEMH needs)
Design and deliver bespoke, engaging learning sessions that play to each student's strengths
Build trusting, consistent relationships that support emotional regulation and confidence
Liaise with families, schools and professionals to ensure joined-up support
Adapt, improvise and sometimes dance in silly ways to keep a child engaged (optional, but encouraged!)
Keep records of sessions and monitor pupils' progress.
Who are we looking for?
Someone with proven experience working with children or young people with special educational needs
Someone with a deep well of empathy and a sense of humour
Relevant qualifications (QTS, PGCE, or specialist SEN training preferred - but attitude and experience can shine just as brightly)
Confident to plan independently and respond flexible to student needs
A belief in progress over perfection
What's in it for you?
Supportive consultant that genuinely gets it
Access to CPD Academy and Thrive Training
Opportunities to make a measurable impact - every single day
A role where no two days are the same and every small victory feels huge
Real Talk:
We don't just tutor - we champion, we scaffold, we celebrate. If you're looking to tick boxes, this isn't for you. But if you're ready to change lives in a quiet, consistent, powerful way ... we can't wait to meet you.
