Flexible Hours Available | Part-Time & Full-Time Opportunities

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 looking for a role that offers greater flexibility, variety and autonomy?

As a 1:1 SEND Tutor and Learning Mentor, you will work directly with individual students who are unable to attend mainstream school, providing personalised tuition and educational support tailored to their individual needs.

Quantum Scholars is recruiting SEND Tutors and Learning Mentors to deliver one-to-one SEND tuition and support for children and young people receiving Education Otherwise Than At School (EOTAS) provision across Wokingham and the surrounding areas.

Working as part of our growing EOTAS provision, you will support students with a wide range of needs and backgrounds. This is a highly rewarding role where you can make a genuine impact by helping young people rebuild confidence, engage with learning and achieve positive outcomes.

This role is particularly well suited to school-based LSAs and TAs who would enjoy working with a diverse range of students while benefiting from greater flexibility and autonomy. Opportunities are available from a few hours per week through to full-time timetables, depending on your availability and preferred workload.

Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs

Learning difficulties and additional educational needsSessions are typically delivered within the student's home environment, with a parent or carer present throughout.
