SEN Tutor

We’re looking for committed, experienced tutors in the Oxford area who are ready to step into a role that goes beyond academics. If you’re an educator who understands that some young people need more than a lesson plan they need consistency, patience, and someone who truly “gets it” read on. Who You’ll Be Supporting We receive a high volume of referrals for both primary and secondary-aged pupils, many with SEMH and complex needs. Our primary referrals are often from schools seeking targeted, personalised intervention. Our secondary referrals frequently involve students who may: * Be out of school or on reduced timetables * Have struggled in mainstream settings * Need structured, calm, consistent support to rebuild confidence Whether primary or secondary, this role is about helping young people reconnect with learning at their pace, but with clear direction. Availability Requirements * Minimum 10–15 hours per week * Core hours between 8:30am–3:30pm * Monday to Friday availability essential Consistency and reliability are absolutely key. The pupils we support thrive on routine and predictability. More Than Just Teaching Professionalism and communication are central to this role. Tutors must: * Accurately record and report attendance * Monitor and document academic and emotional progress * Provide clear, professional feedback that can be shared with schools and other professionals * Maintain high standards of safeguarding and record keeping Your reports may contribute to wider discussions with schools and external agencies — so detail and clarity are essential. Your Background We welcome tutors with experience in: * Primary or secondary schools (mainstream or specialist) * Alternative provision * Private tuition * Pastoral or youth-based roles Essential qualities: * Strong behaviour management rooted in empathy * Experience supporting SEMH or complex needs * Confidence working independently * Professional written and verbal communication skills * Resilience and emotional intelligence Why This Role Matters Progress doesn’t always look like a neat set of data. Sometimes it looks like: * A primary pupil beginning to believe they can do it * A secondary student completing a full session without disengaging * A young person rebuilding trust in education If you’re passionate about making a measurable difference and can commit to consistent hours in the Oxford area, we would love to hear from you
