Job description
Functional Skills SEN Tutor (Outreach Tuition) – Havering
Prospero Teaching is seeking experienced Functional Skills SEN Tutors to deliver tailored 1:1 tuition to young people across Havering who are not currently accessing mainstream education.
As an Outreach Tutor, you will plan and deliver Functional Skills English and Maths sessions based on each learner’s level, needs and gaps in learning. Many students have been out of education for some time, so a calm, supportive approach is essential to help rebuild confidence, motivation and routine.
Learners may present with a range of Special Educational Needs, including:
1. Autism (ASC)
2. ADHD
3. SEMH needs
4. Dyslexia, dyscalculia or other specific learning difficulties
5. Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN)
6. Moderate or Severe Learning Difficulties (MLD/SLD)
7. Anxiety or school avoidance
8. Trauma or attachment needs
Tuition may be required at primary, secondary or post‑16 level. Sessions may take place in the student’s home (with a parent/carer present), a local library or an education setting. You will also receive support from Prospero’s Children’s Education Services team, who can provide resources, guidance and baseline assessments.
