SEND Tutor – Taunton & Surrounding Areas
Location: Taunton and surrounding areas, Somerset
Phase: Primary / Secondary / SEND
Working arrangement: In-person
Quantum Scholars is looking for experienced and dedicated SEND Tutors to provide personalised one-to-one and small-group support to children and young people across Taunton and the surrounding areas of Somerset.
We work closely with local authorities to provide Alternative Provision and EOTAS support for young people who may be unable to access mainstream education. As a result, we are looking for tutors who have the experience, patience, and understanding needed to support students with a range of SEND and/or SEMH needs.
This is an in-person role and is not online tutoring.
The successful tutor will be able to build positive and trusting relationships with students, adapt their approach to individual needs, and provide engaging, accessible learning sessions that help young people develop their confidence, engagement, and progress.
Experience working with students who have struggled within a traditional school environment, including those experiencing anxiety, school avoidance, behavioural challenges, or difficulties engaging with education, would be particularly beneficial.
