Location: Carter's Corner, East Sussex, GB, BN27 4

Job Description

You can be the teacher who plans around the learner, not a scheme of work - the teacher a vulnerable young person actually needs. None of the teaching-at-scale trade-off, less admin, just one person and the part of teaching you care about. We're recruiting experienced SEND teachers across East Sussex, £28 - £35 per hour, for one-to-one work with children and young people who haven't been served by mainstream provision.

What you get

• Flexible schedule: Part-time or full-time, around your other commitments. You set your hours and choose your placements.
• Work from home: Planning, prep, and reporting from home; hybrid placements available alongside in-person teaching.
• Tes CPD access: Unlimited use of the Tes professional development library, plus our own SEMH-focused CPD.
• Mentoring programme: Regular check-ins and expert guidance throughout every placement.
• Specialist team behind you: SENDCos, Designated Safeguarding Leads, senior special-school leaders, and experienced tutors backing every placement.
• Tutor community events: Online drop-ins, knowledge-sharing sessions, and a community of fellow teachers and tutors.

How we work

We meet each young person where they are - safeguarding wrapped around the work, engagement before attainment, child-led and matched to your approach. We match, we don't dictate. Trauma-informed teaching that's transformative, not a gap filler - trusted by Local Authorities and schools across the UK.

Day to day

You’ll teach one-to-one in English, Maths, or Science to children and young people aged 5 to 18, referred by Local Authorities and schools. Sessions are typically 1 to 2 hours, in-person; often in the home, sometimes in school, occasionally hybrid. Most of your learners will have SEMH, ADHD, ASC, MLD, SLD, or other SEND needs; many have been out of school for some time.

You’ll plan around the learner, not a scheme of work. Per-session reports supported by templates and your Specialist.

Requirements

• Experience: At least 2 years’ teaching experience with SEMH, ADHD, ASC, MLD, SLD, or other SEND needs.
• Qualification: QTS or QTLS, or a directly equivalent specialist teaching qualification.
• Subjects: Confidence teaching English, Maths, or Science at one or more Key Stages.
• Compliance: Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this) and two professional references.
• Right to work: UK-based with right to work in the UK.

Pay

Paid monthly via an auto-generated invoice you approve in our tutor portal. Self-employed contract for services.
