Intervention Tutor — Sandown

About the role

You will play a vital role in supporting students who may have experienced challenges in mainstream education, including behavioural, emotional, or social difficulties, to achieve their education goals. Your primary focus will be to deliver bespoke, targeted interventions that re-engage pupils with education in a supportive, nurturing, and holistic environment. You will provide one-to-one, creative, and interest-led learning sessions while promoting positive attitudes to learning and helping build the skills and confidence students need to progress academically and personally.

At SENse Learning, we are on a mission to raise the standard of education for young people with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities), as well as those with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs. We increasingly support children and young people with MLD (Moderate Learning Difficulties), SLD (Severe Learning Difficulties), and PMLD (Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties). We passionately believe in the transformative power of education, and through bespoke, one-to-one lessons, our dedicated team makes a positive impact on students’ lives every day.
