Nurture Tutor / Therapeutic Children’s Tutor\n\n£20.00 – £22.50 per hour\n9:00am – 3:00pm core hours | Part-time (2–3 days per week, fixed rota)\n\nAre you looking for a role where success is measured in smiles?\n\nDo you believe trust comes before teaching?\nDo you believe consistency changes lives?\nDo you believe the right adult can make all the difference to a child who struggles in a mainstream environment?\n\nIf so, this could be exactly what you’re looking for.\n\nThis is not a traditional classroom role. It is about connection, patience, and helping children take meaningful steps forward, no matter how small.\n\nAbout the Role\n\nWe are recruiting compassionate and adaptable individuals to support young people on a 1:1 basis who are unable to thrive in mainstream education. This role may also be described as a Nurture Tutor, Therapeutic Tutor, or 1:1 Learning Support role.\n\nMost young people receive 15 hours of support per week funded through the Local Authority, so we are particularly looking for individuals seeking part-time work across 2–3 days per week on a consistent rota.\n\nAs a Therapeutic Tutor, your focus is simple but powerful: build the relationship first. Everything else follows.\n\nProgress in this role is not always academic. Sometimes progress looks like a child leaving the house, attending a session for the first time, engaging in an activity, building enough trust to have a conversation, regulating emotions safely, or simply feeling comfortable around another adult.\n\nSmall steps are still progress, and often they are the most important ones.\n\nThe Children You Will Support\n\nEvery child we work with is different, and many have experienced significant challenges within education or daily life.\n\nYou may support children and young people who are at risk of permanent exclusion, have already been excluded from school, struggle with behavioural or emotional regulation difficulties, or have been out of education for a prolonged period.\n\nSome young people experience anxiety or school-based trauma. Others may have Autism, ADHD, SEMH needs, additional learning needs, disabilities, or complex needs. Some may be non-verbal or experience communication differences. Many struggle to engage with unfamiliar adults or environments and require highly personalised, flexible approaches to learning.\n\nSome children may initially require home visits before transitioning into community-based learning or sessions within a learning centre, particularly if they are completely new to this style of support.\n\nNo two days, and no two children, are ever the same.\n\nWhat is a Therapeutic Tutor?\n\nA Therapeutic Tutor supports learning through trust, connection, and emotional safety.\n\nUsing creativity, flexibility, and shared interests, you will build strong positive relationships with young people, tailor learning around their interests and needs, support emotional regulation and confidence, and help them re-engage with education in a way that works for them.\n\nSessions may involve outdoor activities, walks, community-based learning, bowling, pool, arts and crafts, cooking, music, home visits, learning centre sessions, or functional life skills and confidence-building activities.\n\nEvery day looks different because every child is different.\n\nWhy These Roles Exist\n\nWith increased government funding supporting children with EHCPs, there is a growing need for personalised, relationship-led intervention outside of traditional classroom environments.\n\nMany children are not currently accessing education in a way that works for them. This role exists to change that.\n\nWe work in partnership with a local provider to deliver meaningful therapeutic support that improves outcomes for young people and helps them reconnect with learning safely and positively.\n\nKey Responsibilities\n\nYou will deliver 1:1 therapeutic, relationship-led support tailored to individual needs and objectives provided for each child. You will build trust and emotional safety while supporting children who may struggle to engage or regulate their emotions.\n\nThe role also involves transporting children to and from sessions, with average journeys of around 35 minutes, monitoring progress, providing feedback, supporting EHCP outcomes, and creating a safe, consistent, and structured environment.\n\nWho We’re Looking For\n\nWe are looking for patient, empathetic, and resilient individuals who can work at the child’s pace, not their own.\n\nYou should be calm, adaptable, emotionally resilient, and comfortable working independently. You should be able to build positive professional relationships and feel passionate about supporting vulnerable young people.\n\nThis role would suit individuals who are flexible in their approach to learning and engagement and who feel comfortable supporting children with SEN, Autism, ADHD, SEMH challenges, behavioural needs, complex needs, non-verbal communication, and emotionally based school avoidance.\n\nWe welcome applicants who can engage children who may initially be withdrawn, dysregulated, anxious, or disengaged from education.\n\nRequirements\n\nApplicants must hold a full UK driving licence and have access to their own vehicle with business insurance. An Enhanced DBS is required, or a willingness to obtain one, alongside a willingness to complete a mandatory induction.\n\nExperience is helpful but not essential. We value attitude, patience, emotional intelligence, and transferable skills just as highly.\n\nBackgrounds That Work Well\n\nThis role suits individuals from a wide variety of professional backgrounds including SEN or mainstream Teaching Assistants, Youth Workers, Support Workers, Sports Coaches, Alternative Provision staff, Tutors, Assessors, Social Workers, Nursery Practitioners, Residential Care Workers, Mental Health Support Workers, Scout or Cadet Leaders, and graduates with relevant qualifications.\n\nImportant Information\n\nIf you are looking for a traditional mainstream classroom role, this position is probably not for you.\n\nThis role is about building relationships, creating trust, and helping children move forward in a way that works for them.\n\nSometimes progress is as simple as a child leaving the house, joining an activity, sharing a conversation, or feeling safe enough to try again.\n\nAnd that matters.\n\nTraining & Support\n\nYou will be fully supported throughout your journey with a comprehensive induction, ongoing CPD and inset training, therapeutic practice and behaviour support training, access to a full TES account and additional learning courses, and continued guidance from both our team and the client.\n\nWhat Happens Next?\n\nOnce you apply, you will speak with a recruitment specialist, attend a virtual interview, complete compliance checks, attend a client presentation and meeting, visit the site, and begin your induction.\n\nThe Opportunity\n\nThis is a long-term role running until the end of the academic year, with ongoing opportunities available for successful candidates
