Working Arrangement: In-person
Quantum Scholars are looking for experienced, patient, and confident SEND/SEMH Tutors to provide personalized one-to-one support to young people across Herefordshire.
A key requirement for this role is experience supporting children and young people who may display challenging behavior and experience difficulties with emotional regulation, engagement, or traditional learning environments. We are looking for tutors who are confident managing challenging situations, establishing clear boundaries, and using positive behavior strategies to help young people feel safe, supported, and able to engage with learning.
The successful tutor will be calm, consistent, and empathetic, with the ability to build positive relationships and adapt their approach to meet individual academic, emotional, and behavioral needs. Experience supporting young people who have experienced barriers to education, school avoidance, or disengagement would be highly desirable.
This role would suit a qualified teacher, experienced tutor, teaching assistant, behavior mentor, youth worker, or education professional with experience supporting young people with SEND/SEMH needs.
This is an in-person tutoring role and is not online work.

- Supporting learners who may display challenging or unpredictable behavior.
- Building positive, trusting relationships with young people who may have significant barriers to learning.
- Establishing clear boundaries, routines, and expectations.
- Using positive behavior support strategies to encourage engagement.
- Remaining calm, patient, and consistent during challenging situations.
- Recognizing potential triggers and adapting support accordingly.
- Using appropriate de-escalation strategies when required.
- Supporting emotional regulation and helping young people develop positive coping strategies.
- Encouraging learners to re-engage with education and develop confidence in their abilities.
- Adapting learning activities, resources, and approaches to suit individual needs.
- Supporting academic progress in relevant subject areas.
- Developing confidence, resilience, independence, and positive attitudes towards learning.
- Helping young people overcome barriers that may prevent them from accessing education.
- Providing encouragement and reassurance during periods of frustration or disengagement.
- Monitoring progress and providing appropriate feedback to parents/carers and other professionals.
- Working collaboratively with families, schools, and other members of the young person’s support team.
- Maintaining professional boundaries and confidentiality.
- Following safeguarding procedures and promoting the welfare of the young person.
