£18-22 per hour | 25 hours per week | Term-time only | SEN & Play Therapy Focus

Are you a compassionate and patient educator with experience in supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?

We're seeking a dedicated full-time tutor to work in-person with a KS2 student based in school in KT4. Your role will be to provide consistent, nurturing support that uses play-based and therapeutic approaches to help them engage, progress, and feel safe in their learning environment.

What the Role Involves:

• Deliver 1:1 support throughout the school day (9:00am - 3:30pm, Monday to Friday).

• Use play therapy techniques and creative, individualised strategies to encourage communication and engagement.

• Support the student's development across Early Years learning, adapting activities to their unique needs.

• Work closely with school staff and parents to ensure consistency and celebrate progress.

• Foster trust, emotional security, and positive learning experiences every day.

Who We're Looking For:

• Experience supporting children with ASD, preferably non-verbal learners.

• Knowledge of play therapy and child-centred approaches to learning.

• Patience, empathy, and resilience when supporting children working significantly below age-related expectations.

• Strong communication skills for liaising with staff and parents.

• A proactive and flexible approach to working within a school setting.

Why This Role Matters:
For this student, education is not just about academics-it's about connection, play, and developing confidence at their own pace. Your consistent presence and creative support will be key to helping them thrive.
