In-Person Tutor - Full-Time Support for Non-Verbal Student with ASD (KT4, School-Based)
18-22 per hour 25 hours per week Term-time only SEN & Play Therapy Focus
Are you a compassionate and patient educator with experience in supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
We're seeking a dedicated full-time tutor to work in-person with a KS2 student based in school in KT4. Your role will be to provide consistent, nurturing support that uses play-based and therapeutic approaches to help them engage, progress, and feel safe in their learning environment.
What the Role Involves:
* Deliver 1:1 support throughout the school day (9:00am - 3:30pm, Monday to Friday).
* Use play therapy techniques and creative, individualised strategies to encourage communication and engagement.
* Support the student's development across Early Years learning, adapting activities to their unique needs.
* Work closely with school staff and parents to ensure consistency and celebrate progress.
* Foster trust, emotional security, and positive learning experiences every day.
Who We're Looking For:
* Experience supporting children with ASD, preferably non-verbal learners.
* Knowledge of play therapy and child-centred approaches to learning.
* Patience, empathy, and resilience when supporting children working significantly below age-related expectations.
* Strong communication skills for liaising with staff and parents.
* A proactive and flexible approach to working within a school setting.
Why This Role Matters:
For this student, education is not just about academics-it's about connection, play, and developing confidence at their own pace. Your consistent presence and creative support will be key to helping them thrive.
