About the Role

Job Title: SEN Tutor
Location: Sawston, Cambridgeshire
Hours: Up to 15 hours per week
Contract Type: Temporary – with potential ongoing work
Start Date: As soon as possible

About the Role

We are seeking a compassionate, skilled and creative SEN Tutor to provide bespoke academic and therapeutic support to an 8‑year‑old learner near Sawston, Cambridgeshire. The role combines tuition with therapeutic, relationship‑based approaches to help the young person re‑engage with learning and prepare for a supported reintegration into a school near Sawston, Cambridgeshire.

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a significant difference to a child who is bright, perceptive, and capable, but currently struggling with anxiety, sensory overwhelm, and emotional regulation.

About the Learner

The learner is a Year 3 pupil with a pending EHCP and currently awaiting neurodevelopmental assessment for possible Autism. They have experienced long-term school avoidance connected to anxiety, low self‑esteem, and sensory needs.

They respond best to:

  • Calm, predictable, low‑arousal environments
  • Adults who use co‑regulation, clear structure, and emotionally attuned communication
  • A blended approach that balances learning with emotional and sensory support

Their interests include Lego, Pokémon, animals, collecting and organising objects, creative writing, practical learning, and physical play.

What You Will Provide as an SEN Tutor

  • Up to 15 hours per week of academic tuition and therapeutic‑style support
  • A tailored programme designed to rebuild confidence, reduce anxiety, and foster positive learning experiences
  • Strategies to bridge gaps in reading, writing, and maths (currently at expected level in maths; below in literacy)
  • Support with emotional regulation, sensory needs, and structured routines
  • A positive, trust‑based relationship that prepares the student for reintegration into school

SEN Tutor Requirements

  • Experience working with children with SEN, particularly Autism, anxiety, or sensory needs
  • A nurturing, patient and child‑centred approach
  • Ability to adapt teaching creatively based on the learner’s interests and regulation needs
  • Strong communication with parents/carers and professionals
  • Ability to implement therapeutic or trauma‑informed strategies (experience in either area preferred)
  • Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)
  • Commute to Sawston, Cambridgeshire

Desirable

  • Experience with school‑refusing pupils or emotionally based school avoidance
  • Knowledge of sensory regulation approaches
  • Experience delivering both academic and therapeutic/holistic sessions

What We Offer our SEN Tutor

  • Flexible working days and session times
  • Opportunity to make a life‑changing impact on a young person
  • Supportive professional communication and clear referral objectives
  • Competitive hourly rate (to be discussed with shortlisted candidates)
