Job Description
SEND Tutor & Learning Mentor (EOTAS)
Wokingham & Surrounding AreasFlexible Hours Available | Part-Time & Full-Time Opportunities
Please note: Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. Sponsorship is not available for this role.
Immediate work is available for successful candidates, with a significant increase in opportunities expected from September 2026 as our EOTAS and alternative provision programmes continue to expand. We are actively building our team ahead of the new academic year and can offer both ongoing and long-term placements.
Are you currently working as a Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant or SEND Support Worker and looking for a role that offers greater flexibility, variety and autonomy?
As a 1:1 SEND Tutor and Learning Mentor, you will work directly with individual students who are unable to attend mainstream school, providing personalised tuition and educational support tailored to their individual needs.
Quantum Scholars is recruiting SEND Tutors and Learning Mentors to deliver one-to-one SEND tuition and support for children and young people receiving Education Otherwise Than At School (EOTAS) provision across Wokingham and the surrounding areas.
Working as part of our growing EOTAS provision, you will support students with a wide range of needs and backgrounds. This is a highly rewarding role where you can make a genuine impact by helping young people rebuild confidence, engage with learning and achieve positive outcomes.

Unlike a traditional school setting, you will work individually with students, allowing you to build strong relationships and tailor support to each learner's specific needs.

* Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
* Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs
* Trauma-related difficulties
* Anxiety and emotionally based school avoidance
* Medical needs
* Learning difficulties and additional educational needs
Sessions are typically delivered within the student's home environment, with a parent or carer present throughout.
