The Role
We are recruiting a qualified dyslexia specialist to deliver one-to-one structured literacy tuition to two children from the same family in Newnham, Cambridge: an 11-year-old with ADHD and dyslexia, and a 9-year-old who is currently going through a dyslexia assessment.
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.
The older child is at the start of secondary school. He needs someone who can teach him to read, write, and spell in a way that works for a dyslexic learner with ADHD, and who can keep sessions short, active, and structured enough to hold his attention.
The younger child is in upper Key Stage 2 and is showing the same difficulties with reading and spelling; his parents want him supported now rather than waiting for the assessment to finish. English comes first for both; maths support may be added later.
The family wants a consistent specialist who can build a daily rhythm with the children: a session every weekday after school and two hours on Saturday, with the time shared between the two of them across the week. It suits a tutor with regular late-afternoon availability who is happy to work at the weekend.
The role involves:
- Delivering one-to-one sessions at the family home in Newnham, Cambridge, working with each child in turn
- Assessing where each child is with phonics, decoding, spelling, reading fluency and writing, and building a structured, cumulative, multi-sensory literacy programme for each of them from there
- Planning sessions that work for ADHD: clear structure, short chunks, movement breaks and regular wins
