Job Description
We are currently seeking an experienced, trauma-informed tutor to support a Year 12 learner with Functional Skills Maths and English, delivered through a mentoring-led, relationship-first approach.
This role is ideal for a tutor who understands that emotional safety comes before academics and is confident adapting sessions responsively to support a young person with complex SEMH needs.
M has ASD and PTSD, and it is essential that the tutor is able to:
* Recognise potential emotional triggers
* Respond calmly and flexibly when dysregulation occurs
* Adapt sessions in the moment
M is currently completing online Functional Skills Maths and English courses. Alongside the online courses, she requires additional support to help her engage and progress, including:
* Essay writing and structuring written responses
* Practising exam questions
* Building confidence in applying knowledge
M is described as very bright, but disrupted education has created gaps in learning. A baseline assessment will need be completed to identify these gaps, and the tutor will be expected to plan lessons outside of the online platforms to address them.
Alongside academic tuition, M would benefit from support with:
* Life skills such as budgeting and planning for independence
* Exploring post-education pathways and alternative routes beyond traditional education.
Tutor Requirements
* Experience supporting young people with PTSD and ASD
* Strong SEMH experience
* Confident delivering Functional Skills Maths and English
* Calm, flexible, and emotionally responsive
* Comfortable with a mentoring-led approach
* Able to adapt sessions dynamically based on emotional need
Sessions will initially start at 2 hours on one day per week, with plans to gradually increase to 5 hours once a positive relationship has been established. The rate for this referral is £25-£30 per hour.
This is a highly rewarding role for a tutor who values connection, trust, and emotional wellbeing as the foundation for progress.
If this opportunity sounds like a good fit, or you'd like to discuss it further, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
