Job Title: Specialist 1:2:1 Home Tutor (SEN / SEMH)
Location: Peterborough (In-person, home-based)
Start Date: September 2026
Hours: Starting at 5 hours per week (1 hour/day), gradually scaling up to 15 hours per week
About The Role
We are seeking an experienced, highly adaptable, and qualified educator to deliver bespoke, 1:2:1 in-person tuition for a Year 8 student in Peterborough.
This student has complex special educational needs (SEN) and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges, including ADHD, ADD, and severe OCD. Due to OCD-related anxieties, the student cannot physically touch learning materials (such as pens, pencils, or laptops).
You will be responsible for delivering a tailored KS3 curriculum (Science, Maths, and English) completely through verbal dialogue, visual aids, and interactive discussion, removing the need for traditional written work.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver Verbal-First Learning: Adapt all lessons to be entirely verbal and visual. Use high-level questioning, oral modeling, and discussion to assess and capture learning without requiring the student to write or type.
- Core Subject Delivery: Teach KS3 Science, English, and Maths, tailoring content to re-engage the student and build their academic confidence.
- Facilitate EdTech (as a Scribe): Use Century Tech on your own device to baseline and track progress. You will display the platform's bite-sized nuggets (10-15 minute lessons) and input the student's verbal answers for them.
- Build Stamina and Routine: Establish clear, consistent daily routines to help the student gradually increase their learning stamina from 1 hour a day up to 15 hours per week.
- Collaborate and Communicate: Work closely with the local authority's Behaviour and Inclusion team and the student's parents to ensure a cohesive, supportive learning environment.
- Uphold Strict Safeguarding: Deliver all sessions in communal areas of the home with doors open, maintaining professional boundaries and reporting any disclosures immediately.
