Are you committed to empowering children with Special Educational Needs (SEN)? Do you find fulfilment in delivering tailored, one-on-one learning that helps students thrive? If so, Tradewind Recruitment is looking for a dedicated SEN Tutor to support a Year 1 pupil with high ASD needs in the Canterbury area.

This rewarding role involves providing individualised tuition for a young learner who is currently without a school placement. The student has an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP), and you will play a key role in helping him achieve his learning and developmental goals through consistent, structured support.

Your Role as an SEN Tutor

  • Deliver engaging, one-to-one tuition tailored to the pupil's specific needs.

  • Support both academic progress and social-emotional development.

  • Implement strategies that promote communication, focus, and positive engagement.

  • Work collaboratively with parents, carers, and other professionals to ensure continuity of support.

  • Keep accurate records of progress, attendance, and session feedback.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or complex SEN needs.

  • A strong understanding of EHCPs and targeted interventions.

  • A patient, nurturing, and adaptable approach to learning.

  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is essential.

  • You must hold an enhanced Child-only DBS on the Update Service or be willing to apply for one (£62, reimbursed after 20 days of work).

  • Driving is beneficial - the ability to travel to nearby areas is a plus!

Why Join Tradewind?

  • Maximise your earnings: Competitive pay and transparent support.

  • Ongoing development: Free access to 2,500+ CPD resources via The National College.

  • Wellbeing first: People matter - we're proud to be a Sunday Times Top 100 Employer for four years running. We value diversity and are proud to be an Equal Opportunities Employer.

Ready to make a difference in Canterbury? Apply today and help shape a brighter future for students with SEN.
