SEN Outreach Tutor (Makaton Experienced)
ABOUT THE ROLE Prospero Teaching is looking for a passionate and experienced SEN Outreach Tutor to deliver personalised, 1:1 tuition to young learners with Special Educational Needs (SEN), many of whom are currently not attending school.
This role is ideal for a qualified teacher or experienced SEN practitioner with Makaton training, who is confident delivering structured, engaging sessions outside of a mainstream classroom environment. You'll be supporting students with a range of needs - including autism, speech and language delays, and complex learning difficulties - helping them regain confidence and progress with their learning at a pace that suits them.
You'll be working in homes, local libraries, or other appropriate settings across Barking and Dagenham, supporting pupils who may have had disrupted educational experiences.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Deliver 1:1 tailored tuition to SEN learners using appropriate communication methods (e.g. Makaton, visual aids)
- Develop and implement individualised learning plans that meet each student's specific needs
- Build trust and rapport with learners to support emotional regulation and engagement
- Liaise with parents, carers, and Prospero's team to track progress and adjust plans as needed
CONTRACT DETAILS:
- Location: Barking and Dagenham
- Start Date: ASAP
- Hours: Flexible part-time sessions (typically between 1-3 hours per session)
- Pay: £25-£35 per hour (based on experience and qualifications)
- Contract Type: Temporary (with potential for ongoing work)
- Duration: Varies per student - generally long-term placements
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
- QTS, QTLS, PGCE or extensive experience in SEN support
- Experience working with children with autism, learning difficulties, or speech and language needs
- Makaton trained or significant experience using Makaton in an educational setting
- A calm, nurturing, and patient approach to behaviour and emotional needs
- Up-to-date Safeguarding training (or willingness to complete it)
ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Right to work in the UK
- Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willing to apply for one)
- Two professional child-related references from the last two years
WHY WORK WITH PROSPERO TEACHING?
- Competitive hourly rates
- Flexibility to choose sessions that suit your availability
- Opportunities to make a lasting impact with young people who need it most
- Access to free CPD, including safeguarding, behaviour management, and SEN strategies
- Ongoing support from our experienced SEND team
TO APPLY Please send your up-to-date CV to be considered. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
