Outreach Tutor – Support Students with Autism, ADHD & SEMH Needs
Working across Richmond and Kingston boroughs | £130 per day (PAYE – term time only) | Full-time – Monday to Friday, 8:30am - 4pm | September start
Not all classrooms have four walls…
Some students need something different. Some learn better in a quiet library than in a busy corridor. Some need to rebuild their trust in education before they can even begin to think about Maths or English.
This role is about offering consistent, tailored academic and emotional support to young people outside of traditional school settings. You’ll meet them where they are, quite literally, in homes, public learning spaces, or community locations. Every session, you’ll help them take a step forward, no matter how small.
What does an Outreach Tutor do?
- Deliver one-to-one tutoring in core subjects like English and Maths
- Support children aged 5–16 with Autism, ADHD, trauma, anxiety, and SEMH needs
- Travel across Richmond and Kingston boroughs to meet learners in the community
- Encourage social interaction, emotional regulation and resilience through personalised learning
- Build meaningful relationships with students who may not have accessed education for some time
- Use a consistent, child-centred approach grounded in patience, trust, and calm structure
- Collaborate with professionals involved in the young person’s care or support plan when needed
Is this you?
- A graduate in Psychology, Education, Youth Work, Social Work, or a related field
- A calm, reliable person with strong interpersonal instincts
- Comfortable working independently, managing your diary and adapting to student needs
- Passionate about making education accessible for all, especially those who feel left behind
- Experience working with young people in education, mental health, youth work, or care is a bonus, but not essential
- Must be able to travel across Kingston and Richmond (own transport is helpful but not essential)
Why this role matters:
- You’ll help students re-engage with learning and take steps toward reintegration
- You’ll gain invaluable experience supporting children with complex needs, perfect for those interested in teaching, therapy, or educational psychology
- You’ll see tangible, emotional progress, not just academically, but in confidence, self-esteem, and connection
- No two days are the same; you’ll work across varied environments, learning styles, and personalities
- It’s meaningful, human work, and that’s why people who do it tend to remember it forever
What we offer:
- £130 per day (paid weekly via PAYE – no umbrella deductions)
- A supportive consultant who understands the emotional side of this role, not just the logistics
- Training in trauma-informed and relational approaches
- Guidance and mentoring to help you grow in the role
- Long-term opportunities across South West London
- A route into therapy, teaching, or SEND careers
