SEND/SEMH Tutor – Somerset
Location: Somerset
Phase: Secondary / SEND / SEMH
Working Arrangement: In-person
Quantum Scholars is looking for a patient, supportive, and experienced Alternative Provision Tutor to work with children and young people across Somerset. This is an in-person tutoring opportunity and is not an online role.
The role involves providing personalised educational support to learners who are currently unable to access mainstream education or who require a more flexible and individualised approach to learning.
As an Alternative Provision Tutor, you will play an important role in helping young people re-engage with education, rebuild confidence, and develop the skills they need to make positive academic and personal progress.
The successful tutor will be able to build strong, trusting relationships with learners and create a calm, supportive learning environment. You should be confident adapting your approach to suit individual abilities, needs, interests, and levels of engagement.
Experience working with young people with SEND, SEMH needs, behavioural challenges, or those who have experienced difficulties within mainstream education would be particularly beneficial.
