• Support the development of core English and Maths skills, alongside other subjects where appropriate.

• Identify gaps in learning and develop activities to address individual targets.

• Adapt teaching methods, resources and session structures to encourage engagement and progress.

• Break down learning into manageable steps and make education accessible and achievable.

• Support a young person who may experience anxiety, low confidence, school avoidance or disengagement from education.

• Respond calmly and consistently to challenging behaviour, using appropriate behaviour-management and de-escalation strategies.

• Build a trusting relationship while maintaining clear and appropriate boundaries.

• Encourage motivation, independence, resilience and a positive attitude towards learning.

• Monitor progress and provide regular feedback to parents, carers and relevant professionals.

• Maintain accurate records and adhere to safeguarding and confidentiality requirements.

• Experience delivering one-to-one tuition or personalised educational support.

• Experience working with young people with SEND and/or SEMH needs.

• Previous experience supporting learners who are unable to access mainstream education.

• Ability to adapt teaching to meet individual academic, emotional and behavioural needs.

• Confidence supporting young people who may display challenging behaviour.

• A patient, calm, flexible and empathetic approach.

• Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to maintain appropriate boundaries.

• Excellent communication and organisational skills.

• Reliable, professional and committed to helping young people overcome barriers to education.

Experience working within EOTAS, alternative provision or outreach settings would be highly advantageous. Experience supporting learners with complex needs and challenging behaviour would also be beneficial.
