About the Role
Inspire Tutoring is seeking a calm, patient and creative tutor to provide individual tuition for an 11-year-old learner who is currently unable to access school because of emotionally based school avoidance and mental-health needs. Tuition will initially take place in the learner’s home near Duxford, Cambridgeshire, where they are most likely to feel safe and able to engage.

- Adopt a low-demand, relationship-led approach and avoid an overly authoritative style.
- Use screen-based resources appropriately to support engagement.
- Monitor progress, provide concise session feedback and work collaboratively with the family, school and wider professional team.
- Support a gradual increase in educational engagement and readiness for future reintegration.
About You
- Qualified teacher, experienced tutor or education professional with strong Key Stage 2 knowledge.
- Experience supporting learners with SEND, anxiety, emotionally based school avoidance, or barriers to school attendance.
- Understanding of autism- and ADHD-informed practice, including demand-sensitive approaches.
- Calm, reliable and able to build trust without placing unnecessary pressure on the learner.
- Creative and confident in adapting learning around individual interests and needs.
- Strong communication, safeguarding and record-keeping skills.
- Suitable to work in a home-tuition setting and able to travel near Duxford, Cambridgeshire.
