Job description
SEND Specialist Tutor Opportunity – 1:1, WR6/WR2 Area (Herefordshire/Worcestershire border)
Prospero Teaching is looking for a SEND Specialist Tutor to deliver a bespoke face-to-face tuition package on a 1:1 basis to a highly able Year 9 pupil with ASD and DCD who is currently accessing education through an EOTAS package.
The Opportunity
This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity for a skilled and empathetic tutor who can combine subject knowledge across core GCSE subjects (including English, Maths, Sciences, and Humanities) with a nurturing and personalised approach to learning.
The pupil is intellectually curious, with a particular interest in subjects like quantum mechanics, but he requires structured, foundational teaching to close learning gaps and build GCSE-level competence. Your role will involve delivering engaging, motivating lessons that meet him at his level-both academically and emotionally.
You will play a vital part in re-engaging this learner with the curriculum, helping him to build confidence and prepare for qualifications, with support from Prosperos consultant team and regular communication with his wider care team.

Contract type – Temporary
Full-time/part-time – Part time (up to 16 hours per week)

Experience, Training and Qualifications:
QTS or equivalent preferred
Proven experience with SEND, particularly ASD and DCD
Able to plan and deliver multi-subject, KS3/GCSE content (Maths, English, History, Politics, Science, Computer Science, Geography)
Must be patient, creative and passionate about making learning accessible and enjoyable
Familiarity with closing knowledge gaps for high-ability learners with inconsistent prior attainment
