Primary & Secondary SEND Subject Tutors – Somerset
Maths | English | Science | Primary | September 2026 Opportunities
Quantum Scholars is preparing for a significant increase in EOTAS and Alternative Provision referrals across Somerset from September 2026 and is looking to recruit experienced Primary and Secondary SEND Subject Tutors.
Role Overview
Working with learners referred through Somerset Council’s Alternative Provision arrangements, we are seeking tutors who can deliver high-quality 1:1 tuition to young people who are currently unable to access mainstream education.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver high-quality 1:1 tuition to young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
- Adapt teaching methods to meet individual needs, particularly those relating to SEND, SEMH, autism, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, medical conditions, behavioural challenges, or EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance).
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.
Qualifications and Experience
We are particularly keen to hear from tutors and qualified teachers with experience in:
- Primary (KS1 & KS2)
- English
- Mathematics
- Science
Ideal Candidates
This opportunity may also suit:
- Classroom teachers looking to move away from mainstream education.
- Supply teachers seeking greater flexibility.
- Experienced tutors wanting to make a genuine difference through personalised 1:1 teaching.
Working Conditions
- Support is delivered on a 1:1 basis with both primary and secondary-aged pupils (up to 16 years old).
- Most tuition takes place face-to-face within a student’s home or in a suitable community setting, with occasional online opportunities available where appropriate.
- Opportunities range from a few hours each week to regular ongoing work close to full-time, depending on your availability and subject specialism.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience teaching or tutoring Primary, English, Maths and/or Science.
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is welcomed but not essential for experienced tutors.
- Experience supporting learners with SEND or additional needs is desirable.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one).
- Driving and access to a vehicle would be highly advantageous.
