Connex Education Partnership is a dedicated and specialised provider of educational professionals across a wide range of settings. Our mission is to deliver meaningful, tailored, and supportive one-to-one tuition for children who are not currently attending school, in environments that best meet their needs — most commonly within the family home.
We are seeking an experienced SEN Home Tutor with a strong background as an SEMH Mentor and teaching experience to join our passionate home tuition team.
This role is ideal for a nurturing, resilient, and creative professional who can combine teaching expertise with emotional and behavioural support strategies to re-engage learners with education.
You will support children in the Sutton Coldfield area who are currently out of mainstream or specialist school. Many of the pupils have Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and present with autism, complex learning needs, and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges.
Your role will involve delivering personalised one-to-one sessions while also acting as a consistent, positive mentor — helping pupils regulate emotions, build trust, and develop confidence in learning.
Working pattern:
Monday to Friday availability
Minimum of 2 hours per day per pupil (more hours available)
Opportunities across the wider West Midlands, including Birmingham, Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Harborne, Wolverhampton and surrounding areas
Deliver high-quality, one-to-one tuition tailored to each pupil’s EHCP outcomes
Act as a positive SEMH mentor, supporting emotional regulation, resilience, and engagement
Plan and adapt creative, personalised learning programmes to suit individual needs and interests
Build strong, trusting relationships with pupils who may have experienced barriers to education
Use de-escalation strategies and trauma-informed approaches to support behaviour
Monitor progress and provide regular feedback to parents, carers, and professionals
Work collaboratively with local authorities, schools, and multidisciplinary teams
Create a safe, calm, and structured learning environment within the home
Proven experience as a Teacher (QTS or non-QTS) — essential
Strong SEMH mentoring or behaviour support experience
Experience working with children with SEN, particularly autism, SEMH, and complex needs
Knowledge of strategies such as trauma-informed practice, de-escalation techniques, and behaviour support plans
Experience with PECS and/or Makaton (highly desirable)
A genuine passion for supporting children outside of mainstream education
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
A patient, empathetic, and adaptable approach
Ability to travel locally (driving preferred but not essential)
Flexible working: Manage your own schedule to suit your lifestyle
Guaranteed pay: Minimum of 10 hours per week per pupil, including 2 hours of paid planning time
Autonomy: Freedom to deliver creative, personalised sessions tailored to each learner
Meaningful impact: Play a vital role in re-engaging pupils with education and improving outcomes
Competitive pay rates: With opportunities for additional work and referrals
Professional support: Ongoing guidance from a dedicated SEN Home Tuition team
Collaborative working: Engage with local authorities and professionals to support each child holistically
If you are an experienced teacher with a passion for SEMH mentoring and supporting vulnerable learners on a one-to-one basis, we would love to hear from you.
