SEN Tutor and Mentor

At EFWS (Education and Family Wellbeing Service), we do education differently. We work with children and young people who have struggled to engage with mainstream education. For many of our students, wellbeing comes before learning. Before we can expect a young person to learn, we need to help them feel safe, understood, regulated and ready. We're looking for compassionate, patient and curious people who want to work differently and see the young person behind the behaviour. It's About More Than Teaching At EFWS, we take a holistic approach. We look at the whole young person — their education, wellbeing, relationships, environment, strengths, interests and individual needs. We believe that all behaviour is communication. This approach helps us understand what is behind a young person's behaviour and find ways to support them that are meaningful and individual to them, and for this reason your role won't just be about delivering lessons. It will be about building trust, creating positive experiences and helping a young person recognise what they are capable of. What You'll Do You'll work 1:1 or in small groups, providing personalised support based on each young person's needs. This could include:

• Supporting wellbeing alongside learning
• Delivering GCSE, Functional Skills or ASDAN where appropriate
• Adapting activities to suit individual needs and interests
• Building confidence, independence and trust
• Understanding behaviour as communication
• Celebrating progress, however big or small
• Working with families and a wider team of professionals Who We Are Looking For:
• Teachers and trainee teachers
• Teaching Assistants and SEN specialists
• Tutors and mentors
• Psychologists and psychology graduates
• Other professionals with experience supporting children and young people QTS is desirable, but it is not essential. We value experience, attitude and the ability to build genuine relationships just as highly as qualifications. Why join EFWS? Help us change the narrative for the next generation.
