Description:
Primary & Secondary SEND Subject Tutors - Somerset
Maths | English | Science | September 2026 Opportunities
Quantum Scholars is currently building its Somerset team ahead of what is expected to be a busy September 2026, with a wide range of SEND, EOTAS and Alternative Provision referrals anticipated across the county.
As demand continues to grow, we are looking to recruit Primary Tutors together with experienced Secondary Subject Tutors specialising in Mathematics, English and Science to support vulnerable learners through personalised 1:1 tuition.
Many of the learners we support are unable to access mainstream education and may have needs relating to SEND, SEMH, autism, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, medical conditions, behavioural challenges, or EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance).
Whether you're a qualified classroom teacher looking for a new direction, a supply teacher seeking greater flexibility, or an experienced tutor, this is an opportunity to use your subject expertise to make a genuine difference to a young person's education.
Support is delivered on a 1:1 basis with both primary-aged pupils and secondary students up to the age of 16. We will always aim to match tutors with the subjects, key stages, and learners they feel most confident teaching.
Most tuition takes place face-to-face within a student's home or in a suitable community setting, with occasional online opportunities where appropriate.
One of the key benefits of this opportunity is its flexibility. Whether you're looking for just a few hours each week alongside other commitments or hoping to build a regular timetable of 20+ hours, we'll work with your availability wherever possible. With a high volume of referrals anticipated from September onwards, we expect a wide range of opportunities to become available across Somerset.
What We're Looking For
Experience teaching or tutoring Primary, Mathematics, English, and/or Science
Strong subject knowledge and the ability to adapt teaching to individual learners
Experience supporting learners with SEND is advantageous
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)
Driving and access to a vehicle would be highly advantageous
Ability to travel within Somerset
What We Offer
Flexible opportunities around your availability
Ongoing referrals throughout the academic year
Meaningful 1:1 teaching with vulnerable young people
Face-to-face opportunities with occasional online tuition
Competitive rates, dependent on experiencePlease note that applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. Visa sponsorship is not available for these opportunities.
If you're passionate about teaching and want to use your subject knowledge to help young people who need it most, we'd love to hear from you
