Identifying gaps in knowledge and developing targeted activities to support academic progress.
Adapting teaching methods, resources and session structures to suit individual learning needs and abilities.
Breaking down challenging concepts into manageable steps to encourage understanding and independence.
Supporting young people who may experience anxiety, low confidence, school avoidance or disengagement from education.
Responding calmly and consistently to challenging behaviour, using appropriate positive behaviour strategies and de-escalation techniques where necessary.
Building trusting professional relationships while maintaining clear boundaries and expectations.
Encouraging confidence, motivation, resilience and positive learning habits.
Creating a calm, structured and supportive learning environment.
Monitoring progress and providing feedback to parents, carers and other relevant professionals where appropriate.
Maintaining professional standards, confidentiality and safeguarding procedures.
Essential Requirements
The ideal candidate will have:
Experience working with secondary-aged young people with SEND and/or SEMH needs.
Experience delivering one-to-one tuition or personalised educational support.
The ability to adapt teaching approaches to meet individual academic, emotional and behavioural needs.
Confidence supporting secondary curriculum subjects, including GCSE-level learning where appropriate.
Experience supporting young people who may be anxious, disengaged or reluctant to participate in education.
Experience supporting young people with challenging behaviour would be highly desirable.
A calm, patient, empathetic and resilient approach.
Confidence building positive relationships and maintaining professional boundaries.
Strong communication and organisational skills.
Reliability, flexibility and a genuine commitment to helping young people achieve their potential.
A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
An enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references and the right to work in the UK.
Experience working within EOTAS, alternative provision or other non-mainstream educational settings would be particularly advantageous.
