Autism Tutor – South Birmingham
Location: South Birmingham (home tuition)
Hours: Flexible – typically 3–4 sessions per week
Pay: Competitive daily rate, paid weekly (PAYE)
About the Role:
Connex Education is recruiting for a Qualified Teacher to work on a one-to-one basis with a primary-aged student with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who is currently not attending school.
This flexible role allows you to manage your own schedule while working closely with students outside of a traditional classroom, giving you the unique opportunity to see the direct impact of your teaching on their progress.
Tuition will take place in the student’s home and will require a tailored, play-based approach to support engagement and develop basic skills. The student is non-verbal, with significant speech and language developmental delay, so experience and confidence with PECS and alternative communication methods is essential.
The sessions should use sensory and interactive learning, with clear structure using objects of reference, symbols, pictures, and a now/next board to provide clear direction and support the student’s communication and understanding.
We are looking for a tutor who can provide a calm, nurturing, and consistent learning environment. As a Home Tutor, you’ll need a dynamic, creative teaching style and the ability to quickly adapt strategies to keep the student engaged and progressing.
✨ Benefits of working with Connex Education:
✔️ Competitive daily rate, paid weekly through PAYE
✔️ Flexible working hours to fit your schedule
✔️ Free access to our SEND Toolkit with over 19 specialist training courses
✔️ Wellbeing support programme and regular CPD opportunities
✔️ Supportive team and dedicated consultant
Role Requirements:
✅ QTS / QTLS or equivalent
✅ Experience working with students with Autism and significant communication needs
✅ Confident using PECS and other alternative communication strategies
✅ Experience delivering sensory-based, play-led sessions
✅ Resilient, patient and adaptable
✅ Enhanced DBS on the update service (or willingness to apply)
Driving licence (preferred but not essential)
Start date: September 2025 | End date: End of Academic Year
