1:1 Children's Tutor

Job Description:

Are You Looking for a Role Where Relationships Are Long-Lasting and the Key to Success?

Do you believe that trust comes before teaching? That consistency changes lives? That the right adult can make all the difference to a child with additional needs?

We are looking for a nurturing, emotionally intelligent Therapeutic Children’s Tutor to work 1:1 with a child with SEN in Long Eaton on either a full time or part-time basis (2 to 5 days per week).

This is not just a tutoring role — it’s an opportunity to build a meaningful, lasting relationship that supports a child to feel safe, understood, and ready to learn.

This position is ideal for someone who understands that progress isn’t always measured in grades — sometimes it’s measured in confidence, connection, and small but powerful breakthroughs.

If you are patient, adaptable, and passionate about therapeutic, relationship-led education, this could be the role where you truly make an impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide 1:1 therapeutic educational support to a child with SEN
• Adapt and personalise learning pathways to meet the child’s individual needs (objectives provided)
• Deliver nurturing, relationship-based support
• Transport the child safely to and from the learning centre
• Monitor progress and provide feedback as required
• Maintain a safe, supportive, and structured learning environment

Requirements

• Experience working with children with SEN (essential)
• A nurturing, patient, and therapeutic approach
• Ability to adapt learning to meet individual needs
• Full UK driving licence
• Access to your own vehicle with business insurance
• Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)
• Willingness to complete a mandatory induction prior to starting

What We’re Looking For

This role would suit someone with experience as a:

• SEN Tutor
• Teaching Assistant
• Sports Coach
• Support Worker
• Alternative Provision Practitioner
• SEN Teacher

We are seeking someone committed to making a real difference in a child’s educational journey. This is a long-term position running until the end of the academic year, offering consistency and the opportunity to build a meaningful, positive relationship across 2–3 days each week.
