SEN / SEND Tutor

You can make a difference from wherever you are - 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 online SEND tutors, £25 - £30 per hour, for one-to-one remote sessions with vulnerable children and young people across the UK; many in areas without specialist provision, many out of school, many for whom the screen is the version of teaching that actually works.
What you get

• Work from home: Fully remote.

• 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.

• 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.
Day to day

• One-to-one online tuition in English, Maths, or Science to children aged 4-18 across the UK, referred by Local Authorities and schools.

• Sessions typically 1-2 hours via secure video platform, usually within school hours; many run with the same learner for months.

• Most learners have SEMH, ADHD, ASC, MLD, SLD, or other SEND needs; many are out of school or unable to access in-person tuition locally.

• 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 - plus comfort delivering online.

• 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.

• Tech setup: Reliable broadband, a working webcam, and a quiet space to teach.

• Compliance: Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), two professional references, and UK-based with right to work in the UK.
