SEMH Tutor - Specialist Alternative Provision

Tradewind Recruitment - Sheffield

Location: Sheffield
Pay: £25-£35 per hour (depending on experience)
Contract: Flexible | Part-time / Full-time opportunities

🚗 FULL UK DRIVING LICENCE & OWN CAR ESSENTIAL

You MUST be able to drive and have access to your own car on a full-time basis. This is an essential requirement of the role, with no exceptions.

Tradewind Recruitment are currently recruiting for an experienced SEMH Tutor to support children and young people who may struggle to access a traditional school environment due to social, emotional and mental health needs.

This is not a traditional tutoring role. The young people you will be supporting may have challenging behaviour, low engagement, anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, poor attendance or previous negative experiences of education. Building trust and establishing positive relationships will be just as important as delivering academic work.

We are looking for someone who is patient, consistent, resilient and nurturing, but who can also maintain appropriate boundaries and expectations. You will need to be comfortable adapting your approach when a session doesn't go to plan and understand that progress may not always be immediate.

The Role

Providing 1:1 and small-group tutoring to pupils with SEMH needs
Travelling to different locations to deliver tutoring, where required
Supporting pupils to re-engage with education
Delivering engaging and appropriately differentiated learning
Building positive and trusting relationships
Supporting emotional regulation and confidence
Adapting sessions around the individual pupil's needs
Working alongside schools, families and other professionals where appropriate
Supporting pupils to develop both academically and personally

What We're Looking For

Full UK driving licence - ESSENTIAL
Access to your own car on a full-time basis - ESSENTIAL
Previous experience working with SEMH, challenging behaviour or vulnerable young people
Teaching, tutoring, youth work, care or education experience would be beneficial
A calm, patient and nurturing approach
Strong resilience and the ability to build relationships with hard-to-reach pupils
Someone who can maintain boundaries while remaining approachable
The ability to work independently and adapt to different situations
A genuine commitment to helping young people re-engage with education

Pay

The role pays £25-£35 per hour. The exact rate offered will depend on experience, availability and the individual school's/organisation's budget.

How to Apply

If you have experience supporting young people with SEMH needs, have a full UK driving licence and access to your own car on a full-time basis, and feel you have the patience, resilience and skills required, please send your updated CV to:
