Specialist SEND Tutor – Somerset
SEND Specialist Tutor – Taunton & Surrounding Somerset Areas
1-2-1 SEND Tuition | Flexible Hours | September 2026 Opportunities
Quantum Scholars is expanding its Somerset tutoring team ahead of what is expected to be a busy September 2026, with a growing number of SEND, EOTAS (Education Other Than At School), and Alternative Provision referrals across Taunton and the surrounding areas.
We are seeking compassionate, experienced SEND Specialist Tutors to provide personalised 1:1 tuition to children and young people who are unable to access mainstream education.
The learners we support have a wide range of additional needs, including:
- Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
- SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs)
- Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
- ADHD
- Anxiety and trauma
- Medical needs
- Behavioural challenges
- EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance)
Every learner is unique, so we’re looking for tutors who can build positive relationships, adapt their teaching approach, and help rebuild confidence alongside academic progress.
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.
Whether you’re a qualified teacher, SEN teacher, experienced tutor, teaching assistant with tutoring experience, or an education professional looking for flexible work, this is an opportunity to make a genuine difference in a young person’s life.
Tuition is delivered on a 1:1 basis with primary and secondary-aged learners (up to age 16). Sessions typically take place face-to-face in the learner’s home or within a suitable community setting, with occasional online tuition where appropriate.
One of the biggest benefits of working with Quantum Scholars is the flexibility. Whether you’re looking for a few hours each week alongside existing commitments or hoping to build a timetable of 20+ hours, we’ll work with your availability wherever possible. With increasing referrals expected throughout the academic year, there will be ongoing opportunities across Taunton and the surrounding Somerset areas.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience working with children or young people with SEND
- Experience teaching or tutoring in primary and/or secondary education
- The ability to adapt learning to meet individual needs and learning styles
- A patient, nurturing and flexible approach
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
- Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one)
- Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle is highly advantageous
- Ability to travel within Taunton and surrounding areas
