SEN Tutor

What ASEND Tuition Is

We are looking for inspirational tutors to support children and young people with SEND in Newham. We support pupils with SEND who are not attending school for a number of reasons including Mental Health issues, or lack of a suitable school place. We aim to prepare them for a return to mainstream or special school.

About the role

We are looking for a tutor to support a 17 year old young man in Newham. Our pupil is non-verbal and has severe learning difficulties. He has made great progress in developing his communication, mainly via Proloquo2Go; a speech programme on a tablet. He is a very friendly and happy young man who needs some support in developing his non-verbal communication skills further and developing life skills to help him become more independent. He enjoys listening to gospel music and dancing.

Experience working with non-verbal pupils is an essential criteria we would look for in candidates. A tutor who is able to deliver a personalised curriculum and able to incorporate visual timetables and regular movement breaks would also be ideal.
