What ASEND Tuition Is
We are looking for inspirational tutors to support children and young people with SEND in Aylesbury. 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 their next steps whether it is a new school place, exams or adulthood.
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 The Pupil
Our pupil is a friendly and energetic 6 year old boy with medical needs and learning delays. He would benefit from a tutor who has experience working with autism and PDA. He is a fun-loving child who likes dancing and being active.
Our priority is to introduce and prepare him to join a small group learning environment where this young boy can thrive and develop positive relationships with his peers. We are looking for a tutor who can engage with him in a patient and understanding manner, while also providing the support he needs to manage his emotional wellbeing and interpersonal communication.
If you have experience working with children with medical needs, learning delays, and autism, and are passionate about helping children reach their full potential, we would love to hear from you. The ideal candidate would be someone who is able to build his social interaction and life skills. Someone who is patient would be crucial, as this pupil likes to learn at his own pace. Knowledge of PECS and Makaton will be useful to help with communication. This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference in a young boy's life and help him develop his play skills and social interactions.
