Secondary Outreach Tutor – Herefordshire
Location: Herefordshire
Phase: Secondary / SEND / SEMH / EOTAS
Working Arrangement: In-person – home and community based
Quantum Scholars are looking for compassionate, patient and experienced Secondary Outreach Tutors to provide personalised one-to-one educational and pastoral support to young people across Herefordshire.
The role is suited to someone who is confident working with secondary-aged young people who may be unable to access mainstream education due to SEND, SEMH needs, anxiety, school avoidance, behavioural difficulties or other barriers to learning.
As an Outreach Tutor, you will provide flexible, individualised support designed around the needs of each young person. This may include academic tuition, mentoring, confidence-building, emotional support and helping learners gradually re-engage with education.
Sessions may take place within the young person’s home or an appropriate community setting, depending on the individual referral.
This is an in-person role and is not online work.
The Role May Involve
- Providing personalised one-to-one tuition and mentoring to secondary-aged learners.
- Supporting young people with SEND and/or SEMH needs.
- Delivering EOTAS and Alternative Provision support where appropriate.
- Supporting core subjects including English, Maths and Science, depending on your subject specialism.
- Supporting learners across the secondary curriculum, including GCSE where appropriate.
- Adapting lessons and activities to meet individual learning needs.
- Supporting young people who may be unable to access mainstream education.
- Helping learners rebuild confidence, motivation and engagement with education.
- Supporting young people experiencing anxiety, school avoidance or disengagement.
- Supporting learners who may display challenging or unpredictable behaviour.
- Using positive behaviour strategies and appropriate de-escalation approaches where required.
- Building positive, trusting relationships with young people.
- Providing a calm, structured and supportive learning environment.
- Supporting social, emotional and communication development alongside academic progress.
- Developing independence, resilience and positive attitudes towards learning.
- Using the learner’s interests and strengths to encourage engagement.
- Monitoring progress and providing appropriate feedback.
- Working collaboratively with parents/carers, schools and other professionals.
- Maintaining professional boundaries and confidentiality.
- Following safeguarding procedures and promoting the welfare of the young person.
