I hope you are well.

We are currently seeking a qualified, experienced tutor to support a Year 5 young person based in BH21, who requires 1:1 alternative provision to help re-engage with learning and gradually reintegrate into school, without pressure.

This is a mentoring-led role, where emotional regulation, trust, and confidence come before academic expectations.

About the Young Person

The young person is cognitively able and has a diagnosis of ADHD, with emerging ASD needs. Their social, emotional and mental health needs are currently preventing access to mainstream education.

They now require structured, flexible, low-arousal support to re-engage with education in a way that feels safe and manageable.

Provision Overview

• 1:1 Alternative Provision ( KS2 Maths and English)
• Hours: Up to 15 hours per week
  • Hours will initially be reduced while the relationship is established to prevent overwhelm
• Rate: £25-£30 per hour
• Setting: Initially home-based, with gradual progression to community or school settings only if and when appropriate

Support Required

The tutor will:

• Deliver 1:1 tuition in a calm, predictable, low-arousal environment
• Use a flexible, staged approach to learning
• Prioritise relationship-building and emotional safety before academic demands
• Support re-engagement with learning through demand-reduced, child-led sessions
• Introduce academic learning gradually, aligned to the young person's pace and readiness

Tutor Requirements

• Experience working with EBSA, ADHD, ASD and SEMH needs

• At least 6 months experience within UK based education setting

• Calm, patient, and emotionally attuned approach
• Confident delivering 1:1 support to KS2
• Able to adapt sessions dynamically to reduce anxiety and prevent escalation

This is a highly rewarding role for a tutor who understands that progress starts with trust, and that re-engagement must be gentle, flexible, and child-led.

If this opportunity sounds like a good fit, or you'd like to discuss it further, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
