What ASEND Tuition Is

We are looking for inspirational tutors to support children and young people with SEND in South Buckinghamshire. We support pupils with SEND who are not attending school for a number of reasons including Mental Health issues, or lack of a suitable school place. We aim to prepare them for a return to mainstream or special school.

We tutor pupils of all ages face-to-face within school times, and in a range of settings including homes, schools, community centres and out in the community. Our tuition is completely pupil-focused and can target developing early learning, following an academic curriculum, providing emotional support or developing life skills. We need a wide range of tutors to support our pupils to meet their specific needs and ensure good progress. We work very hard to match each tutor with pupils who can most benefit from their skills and expertise.

If you think this is not the right role for you, do still apply as we are always on the lookout for people with different expertise to work with our pupils in various locations.

About our tutors

We support pupils that have struggled to stay in the classroom, who feel too anxious to go to school or whose needs aren’t sufficiently supported at school. The overall aim is to help them re-engage in education and return to school. You may be an experienced tutor or teacher or have experience of working with children in a therapeutic way. One of your aims will be to support and re-engage a pupil in their learning, continue their educational development and return to school. ASEND tuition is replacing school for these young people and is normally part-time, taking place during school hours, five days a week.

Our pupils have a range of individual needs and abilities, and we work very hard to match the tutor with the child who can most benefit from their skills and expertise. We welcome people with broad ranges of backgrounds and knowledge to be able to meet the very diverse needs of our young people. Some of our tutors specialise in SEN with a focus on certain academic subjects and others work with specific behaviours related to SEN. Others have a background on childhood development. Some of our pupils who have deep-seated anxiety or mental health issues linked to their special needs work very well with tutors that are qualified therapists.

About you:

• You’ll have some experience with SEN: Autism, ADHD, SEMH, Learning Difficulties etc

• You may be an experienced tutor or teacher or have experience working with children in a therapeutic way

• You may have experience of supporting and guiding pupils through exams

• You’ll have a passion for helping pupils overcome any barriers to learning and difficulties with engagement

• Have the ability to motivate and inspire pupils

• Use a person-centred approach in their work

• Make the wellbeing, achievement, and progress of your pupils central to everything that you plan and do

Benefits:

• Pay scaling to enable you to increase your rate

• Opportunities for professional development

• Friendly support and guidance to enable you to meet the individual needs of learners and to ensure that you feel confident in your position

• Training in working with children with SEND
