Job Description

Special Needs Tutor - Flexible, Community-Based Support
Part-Time / Casual - Local Home Visits

Are you passionate about helping children thrive? We're looking for kind, patient and reliable Special Needs Tutors to support children in their own homes with a range of learning needs. This is a flexible, community-based role perfect for someone who loves one-to-one support and wants to make a real difference.

About the Role
You'll be providing personalised tutoring and learning support to children with additional needs, including SEND and SEMH. Each child's needs are different, so your sessions might include help with schoolwork, building confidence, supporting communication skills, or reinforcing key learning routines.

Support is delivered in the child's home, so you must be comfortable travelling locally between households.

What You'll Do:

  • Deliver 1:1 support tailored to each child's learning style and ability

  • Help children with core subjects, homework, engagement and confidence

  • Follow any support plans or strategies provided by families or schools

  • Build positive, trusting relationships with young people and their families

  • Encourage independence, resilience and a love of learning

  • Keep brief notes on progress where needed

What We're Looking For:

  • Experience working with children or young people, ideally with SEND/SEMH

  • A calm, friendly and patient approach

  • Clear communication and good relationship-building skills

  • Reliability and professionalism when visiting family homes

  • Ability to adapt sessions to meet individual needs

  • A valid enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)

  • Access to local transport (public or personal)

What We Offer:

  • Flexible hours to suit your schedule

  • Regular local placements

  • Competitive hourly rates

  • Support from our experienced team

  • Meaningful, rewarding work supporting children who benefit most from 1:1 help

If you're someone who genuinely cares about supporting young people and wants a flexible role that changes lives, we'd love to hear from you.
