SEN Tutor
New Today
Are you an educator who looks beyond behaviour and sees the young person underneath?
Do you recognise that real progress is sometimes measured in trust, resilience, and small but meaningful breakthroughs rather than grades alone?
We are seeking committed, experienced tutors in the Thurrock area who want their work to have genuine purpose
not just fill a timetable.
The Opportunity
The majority of our referrals involve secondary-aged pupils with SEMH and complex profiles. Many of these students have struggled within mainstream settings and require consistent, calm, and highly skilled support to help them reconnect with learning.
This is not a role where you simply deliver pre-prepared work and move on.
It involves:
Developing strong, professional relationships
Establishing structured and emotionally safe learning environments
Supporting both academic engagement and emotional regulation
Providing dependable, consistent presence week after week
Availability Requirements
Minimum 1015 hours per week
Sessions generally delivered between 8:30am and 3:30pm
Monday to Friday availability essential
Reliability is crucial. These pupils
and the wider professional team
rely heavily on consistency and routine.
Responsibilities Beyond Teaching
Our tutors are not only educators; they are key contributors to a wider support network.
You will be expected to:
Record attendance accurately
Track and document academic progress and engagement
Provide structured updates to be shared with schools and professionals
Maintain clear, professional documentation at all times
Your reporting may contribute directly to EHCP reviews, school planning, and multi-agency decision-making. Precision and professionalism are essential.
Suitable Backgrounds
Applicants may have experience in:
Tuition settings
Mainstream or specialist secondary schools
Alternative provision
Youth work or pastoral support roles
We are particularly looking for individuals who demonstrate:
Confident behaviour management grounded in empathy
Experience supporting SEMH or complex needs
Strong professional communication skills
Emotional resilience and reliability
The ability to work independently across varied settings
Understanding What Progress Really Looks Like
For some students, success may be academic achievement.
For others, progress might mean:
Remaining engaged for an entire session
Completing work without escalation
Beginning to rebuild trust in adults and education
If you understand and value these milestones, this role will resonate with you.
Why Work With Us?
Purpose-driven, meaningful work
Consistent daytime hours
The chance to positively influence a young persons educational journey
Ongoing professional communication within a supportive network
This is tutoring with responsibility, structure, and lasting impact.
If you are based in Thurrock and able to commit to consistent weekday hours, we would be pleased to hear from you.
