Prospero Teaching is seeking a compassionate and experienced SEN Primary Outreach Tutor to deliver bespoke 1:1 educational support to primary-aged pupils who are currently not accessing mainstream education.

This role involves planning and delivering tailored learning programmes designed to re-engage pupils, address gaps in learning, and rebuild confidence. Most pupils will have Special Educational Needs and may have been out of education for an extended period, so patience, adaptability, and a nurturing approach are essential.

• QTS, QTLS, PGCE, EYFS qualification, or equivalent
• Minimum of 6 months' experience working in a UK school
• Experience supporting pupils with SEN (highly desirable)
• Up-to-date Safeguarding training (preferred but not essential)

• Have the Right to Work in the UK
• Hold an enhanced DBS certificate on the Update Service, or be willing to apply for one
• Provide two professional, child-related references covering the last two years

• Competitive hourly pay
• Accredited CPD courses, including safeguarding and behaviour management
