SEND Tutors Required (Alternative Provision - Wokingham Area)
We are recruiting qualified teachers and experienced tutors to support pupils across Wokingham through one-to-one and small group tuition.
This work is focused on young people who are currently out of mainstream education or require additional support due to SEND and/or SEMH needs. Delivery may take place in person, online, or through a hybrid model, depending on each individual placement.
There is a consistent flow of referrals from local authorities and schools, offering regular opportunities for tutors seeking flexible work.
You must have the right to work in the UK. Visa sponsorship is not available.
About the Role
You will work directly with pupils on a personalised basis, delivering targeted support across core subjects (English, Maths, Science). Students range from KS1 through to KS5, depending on your experience.
Sessions may be delivered in a variety of settings, including homes, schools, community locations, or online. Many placements provide regular weekly work, with some offering up to 5 days per week (approximately 3 hours per day), often continuing through to the end of the academic year.

The pupils you work with may have a range of needs, including:
* SEMH, anxiety, or school disengagement
* Autism (ASC), ADHD
* MLD, SLD, or PMLD
Success in this role requires a patient, adaptable and relationship-focused approach, with an understanding of how to engage learners who may have had disrupted education.
What We're Looking For
* QTS / QTLS or strong relevant tutoring experience
* Experience working with SEND or alternative provision learners
* Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)
* Two professional references
* Strong safeguarding awareness
* Ability to travel locally within Wokingham
