Quantum Scholars is expanding its Alternative Provision services across Somerset and is building a network of SEND Tutors, Mentors, LSAs, Teaching Assistants, Behaviour Mentors, Youth Workers, Pastoral Support Staff, and Support Workers across Taunton and the surrounding area.
With a significant increase in referrals anticipated from September 2026, we are keen to hear from candidates looking to secure flexible and rewarding opportunities for the new academic year.
Our young people often struggle to access mainstream education and may have needs relating to:
- SEND
- SEMH (Social Emotional Mental Health)
- Autism
- ADHD
- Anxiety
- Trauma
- Medical conditions
- Behavioural challenges
- EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance)
Whether you’re an experienced SEND professional, a teacher looking for a new direction, or someone already supporting children and young people in another capacity—this is an opportunity to make a genuine difference through personalised 1:1 support.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
