I hope you are well.
We are currently seeking a qualified, experienced tutor to support a Year 5 young person based in BH21, who requires 1:1 alternative provision to help re-engage with learning and gradually reintegrate into school, without pressure.
This is a mentoring-led role, where emotional regulation, trust, and confidence come before academic expectations.
About the Young Person
The young person is cognitively able and has a diagnosis of ADHD, with emerging ASD needs. Their social, emotional and mental health needs are currently preventing access to mainstream education.
They now require structured, flexible, low-arousal support to re-engage with education in a way that feels safe and manageable.
Provision Overview
*1:1 Alternative Provision ( KS2 Maths and English)
*Hours: Up to 15 hours per week
*Hours will initially be reduced while the relationship is established to prevent overwhelm
*Rate: £25-£30 per hour
*Setting: Initially home-based, with gradual progression to community or school settings only if and when appropriate
Support Required
The tutor will:
*Deliver 1:1 tuition in a calm, predictable, low-arousal environment
*Use a flexible, staged approach to learning
*Prioritise relationship-building and emotional safety before academic demands
*Support re-engagement with learning through demand-reduced, child-led sessions
*Introduce academic learning gradually, aligned to the young person’s pace and readiness
Tutor Requirements
*Experience working with EBSA, ADHD, ASD and SEMH needs


*At least 6 months experience within UK based education setting
*Calm, patient, and emotionally attuned approach
*Confident delivering 1:1 support to KS2
*Able to adapt sessions dynamically to reduce anxiety and prevent escalation
This is a highly rewarding role for a tutor who understands that progress starts with trust, and that re-engagement must be gentle, flexible, and child-led.
