Prospero Teaching are looking for specialist SEN Tutors in the Blandford forum area to deliver tuition on a 1:1 basis to young people with complex special educational needs (SEN) that cannot currently access mainstream education.
The Opportunity
Prospero Teaching are currently onboarding new tutors to join their team for the upcoming academic year in the Blandford forum/Dorset area.
Whether you are looking to embark upon a full-time tutoring role outside of the classroom, or if you are simply looking to take on more hours alongside your current job role, we have students in the local area who need educational support.
On this particular occasion, the tutor will be providing 1:1 support to a Year 9 pupil in the Blandford forum area that is currently seeking education other than at school. The tuition will involve delivery of Maths and English and the tutor will be expected to conduct a baseline assessment to assess the student's ability and then deliver the curriculum they deem suitable.
The pupil has complex SEN, including a diagnosis of Autism (ASD) and ADHD, and has been out of education for an extensive amount of time. The student is in Year 9 but is working below age-related expectations. A KS3 specialist with experience in upper KS2 would be essential in order to bridge the gaps in their learning and enhance their KS3 knowledge.
The support will be taking place at the young person's home or in a local library on a part-time basis (up to 15 hours per week).
As an SEN Tutor, you must be able to create, plan and deliver tailored lessons to bridge gaps in pupil's education and boost attainment levels. You may be an experienced teacher or have significant experience working with children in a therapeutic way to support their needs through previous SEN specialist positions.
