Outreach Autism Tutor – September 2025 Start Full-time Monday–Friday 8:30am–4:00pm Long-term placement We are looking for an experienced, emotionally intelligent, and deeply compassionate Outreach Tutor to work on a one-to-one basis with a 17-year-old student with autism in an alternative education setting. This is not a conventional classroom-based role. This is high-impact, outreach tutoring—an opportunity to meet a young person exactly where they are and help them take meaningful steps forward. It’s about far more than academic outcomes; it’s about rebuilding confidence, developing self-regulation skills, and helping this young person re-engage with education on their own terms. About the Role You will be supporting a bright, complex, and witty young man who has experienced significant barriers to learning within mainstream education. He is now working with a highly specialised outreach provision that prioritises relational connection, emotional safety, and student-led learning. He is intellectually curious, quick-witted, and thrives on rich, thought-provoking conversation. However, due to his autism and previous school experiences, he finds traditional learning environments and rigid routines overwhelming. The role requires a highly adaptive, thoughtful approach—blending academic tutoring with therapeutic support strategies. You will act as a stable, trusted adult, delivering structured, bespoke sessions that are paced and pitched to suit his needs. At times, you may find yourself discussing life skills, identity, emotional wellbeing, or planning creative project-based tasks that build his sense of autonomy and agency. Above all, you will be someone who “gets it”—someone who listens more than they speak, sets boundaries with warmth, and remains calm and grounded when things feel stormy. Key Responsibilities Deliver 1:1 tailored academic support in a calm, low-stimulus outreach centre Build a consistent, respectful, and trauma-informed relationship with the student Use autism-aware and attachment-sensitive strategies to support emotional regulation Plan and deliver sessions that prioritise engagement, confidence, and personal growth Support development of key life skills and future readiness alongside curriculum work Work closely with a wider multidisciplinary team, including therapists, mentors, and family professionals Provide regular feedback and reflections to support wider planning and review meetings What We’re Looking For Previous experience supporting autistic students in an SEN, PRU, or outreach context A calm, empathetic approach to behaviour, grounded in understanding and flexibility Strong awareness of the sensory, emotional, and communication differences linked to autism Patience, emotional resilience, and a good sense of humour—essential! Confidence in working independently while also being part of a wider support team A valid enhanced DBS registered to the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one) Two recent references from similar roles working with young people with additional needs What’s In It For You? Real impact – This is not just about exam prep. It’s about being the person who helps a young person feel seen, heard, and believed in again. Long-term consistency – No hopping between schools. This is a full-time, ongoing role, giving you time to build genuine rapport. Ongoing professional development – Access to training in trauma-informed practice, autism strategies, Team Teach, emotion coaching, and more. No umbrella companies – All roles are PAYE with transparent pay, no hidden costs. Specialist support from Parker Smith Inclusion – We’re SEND specialists, not generalist recruiters. We understand the settings, the students, and the level of care and skill you bring. Why Parker Smith Inclusion? With over 350 five-star Google reviews and an unwavering focus on SEND, Parker Smith Inclusion is proud to connect talented professionals with schools and outreach provisions that value empathy, expertise, and whole-child approaches. Many of our roles are exclusive to us, because our partner settings trust us to find the right people for their most vulnerable learners. We believe in meaningful, ethical recruitment. No gimmicks. Just passionate educators doing what they do best.
