About the Role

BrightTeach SEND Tutors offer educational provision on an individual or small group basis to learners with a range of special educational needs. Tuition is offered across the ages from early years through to post 16.

Tutors will deliver bespoke and individualised lessons designed to support the child or young person’s presenting needs and deliver to their mutually agreed targets/outcomes, they will need to be skilled in building a rapport with complex children and young people to enable them to engage in the educational opportunities,

Tutors will need to ensure that lessons are engaging,personalised and in line with the requirements set out in the learners assessments and other educational information, i.e. their EHCP.

Tutors will commonly need to provide pastoral/mentoring support alongside their academic lessons, to ensure appropriate engagement from learners who will often be disengaged from conventional education opportunities.

Occasionally some of our more complex children/young people are supported by a multi-disciplinary team and tutors will need to work in collaboration with that team, spending time understanding the desired pathway for the child or young person .

Where a child or young person is approaching a key transition point, tutors will be involved in supporting the transition process, sharing relevant information and supporting the learner in being ready for the next step of their educational journey.
