£25-£30 per hour | Flexible timetable | In-home support

We are looking for a compassionate, patient, and experienced tutor to support a 9-year-old learner who is currently unable to access mainstream education due to ongoing medical needs. These medical challenges have resulted in significant gaps in their educational journey and a substantial decline in mental health, with current attendance at 31.5%. The young person has now developed EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance) and is currently working below age-related expectations in reading, writing, and maths.

The successful tutor will provide 1:1 therapeutic and educational support within the family home to help the young person :

• Re-build confidence and self-esteem
• Develop emotional regulation strategies
• Reduce feelings of overwhelm
• Begin re-engaging with learning at a pace that feels safe
• Work towards eventually increasing school attendance when physically and emotionally able

The young person is sensitive to loud noises, has low confidence, and requires a warm, nurturing approach. Consistency, empathy, and creativity in lesson planning are essential.

• Deliver tailored 1:1 tuition in reading, writing, and maths
• Provide therapeutic, emotionally supportive interactions
• Build trust and rapport with the learner and family
• Create a calm, quiet, and sensory-considerate learning environment
• Identify gaps in learning and plan engaging, appropriate sessions
• Encourage and motivate the pupil to rebuild confidence in their abilities
• Support gradual steps towards reintegration into education when appropriate

• Hours: 6 hours per week
• Rate: £25-£30 per hour
• Schedule: Flexible, based around tutor and family availability
• Location: In the family home- DT8

• Experience supporting children with EBSA, anxiety, or medical-related non-attendance
• SEN experience (preferred but not essential if you have the right approach)
• Calm, patient, emotionally intelligent, and adaptable
• Able to create safe, relationship-based learning sessions
• at least 6 months experience within a UK education setting
• Has a relevant DBS registerred on the update service ( or willing to apply )

We will reach out to you with more details.
