Wokingham & Surrounding Areas

Please note: Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. Sponsorship is not available for this role.

Are you currently working as a Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant or SEND Support Worker and considering a move away from a traditional classroom-based role at the end of this academic year?

Quantum Scholars is expanding its team of SEND Tutors and Learning Mentors ahead of September 2026 and is seeking experienced SEND professionals to deliver personalised one-to-one tuition and support for children and young people across Wokingham and the surrounding areas.

With a significant increase in contracted SEND tuition expected from September 2026, we are looking to build a team of dedicated practitioners who are passionate about supporting students with additional needs through highly personalised learning programmes.

A Different Way to Use Your SEND Experience

This role offers the opportunity to move beyond whole-class support and work directly with individual students, helping them build confidence, engage with learning and make meaningful progress.

Many of the students we support are unable to access mainstream education and receive Education Otherwise Than At School (EOTAS) provision. Sessions are typically delivered on a one-to-one basis within the student's home, with parents or carers present throughout.

Students may present with:

Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs
Anxiety and emotionally based school avoidance
Trauma-related difficulties
Medical needs
Additional learning needs

The Role

Delivering personalised 1:1 SEND tuition and support
Building positive and trusting relationships with students
Supporting engagement, confidence and emotional wellbeing
Adapting learning activities to meet individual needs
Providing feedback on student progress and engagement

Who This Role Would Suit

Learning Support Assistants (LSAs)
Teaching Assistants (TAs)
SEND Support Workers
Learning Mentors
Behaviour Mentors
Youth Workers
Tutors with SEND experience
