Special Education Needs Tutor Part Time NEW

Gloucester, Gloucestershire
TARGETED PROVISION LTD

You’ll work with vulnerable young people, one at a time, on their terms – none of the teaching-at-scale trade-off, less admin, just one person and the part of teaching you care about. We’re recruiting experienced SEND tutors in Gloucestershire, £28 – £35 per hour, for one-to-one tuition with children and young people who’ve fallen out of mainstream education, or never been properly served by it.

What you get

• Flexible schedule: Most placements are a few sessions a week (time-limited part-time engagements), with more hours sometimes available. Work not guaranteed; you choose your placements.
• Work from home: Planning, prep, and reporting from home; hybrid placements available.
• Tes CPD access: Unlimited Tes professional development library, plus our own SEMH-focused courses.
• Specialist team behind you: SENDCos, Designated Safeguarding Leads, senior special-school leaders, and experienced tutors.
• Community events: Online drop-ins, knowledge-sharing sessions, and a real tutor community.

How we work

We meet each young person where they are – engagement before attainment, child-led. We match, we don’t dictate. Trauma-informed tuition that’s transformative, not a gap filler – trusted by Local Authorities and schools across the UK.

Day to day

• One-to-one tuition in English, Maths, or Science to children aged 4-18, referred by Local Authorities and schools.
• Sessions typically 1-2 hours, in-person – often in the home, sometimes in school or a community setting, occasionally hybrid, usually within school hours.
• Most learners have SEMH, ADHD, ASC, MLD, SLD, or other SEND needs; many are out of school or at risk of being so.
• Per-session reports supported by templates and your SEND Support Specialist.

You’ll need

• Experience: 2+ years’ teaching or tutoring, including substantial hands-on work with SEMH, ADHD, ASC, MLD, SLD, or other SEND needs.
• Qualification: QTS or QTLS, or an equivalent specialist teaching qualification.
• Subjects: Confidence teaching English, Maths, or Science at one or more Key Stages.
• Safeguarding: It is a strict requirement that you have the ability to work in a way that promotes the safety and wellbeing of children and young people.
• Compliance: Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this) and two professional references.
• Right to work: UK-based with right to work in the UK.
