Team Wild Heart - join us
We’re looking for compassionate, reflective adults who believe that learning should feel human, not forced.
Whether you come from education, youth work, the arts, or lived experience. If you care deeply about connection and a relationship first approach to learning then you definitely belong with us.
We welcome qualified teachers, yes, but also mentors, creatives, and changemakers with heart, curiosity, and a deep respect and understanding of neurodivergent young people.
What we offer
Full training & ongoing supervision grounded in our inclusive, trauma-informed model
Flexible work built around your availability and capacity
A values-led community where you're seen, supported, and never alone in the work
This is more than tutoring.
It’s relationship-based, system-shifting, soul-deep work.
​
It changes lives ~ starting with yours.
Our Values
The Child Leads: We centre the child not the curriculum. Every plan, every goal, and every session begins with who they are, what they need and how they learn best.
Freedom from the System: We’re not bound by rigid targets or standard models. We create learning journeys that adapt, evolve, and truly work for each young person - especially those the system has failed.
Safety Before Learning: We prioritise nervous system safety, connection, and trust. Learning only happens when a child feels safe, respected and seen.
Neurodiversity is Not a Barrier: We embrace difference as strength. Our work is rooted in a deep understanding of neurodiversity, trauma and emotional need: never as things to fix, but as things to honour.
Relationship is the Method: Change happens in connection. Our Young Person’s Guides build attuned, dependable relationships where children feel empowered, not managed.
Reimagining What Learning Can Be: We’re not here to tweak the old system. We’re building a new one: one where joy, curiosity and belonging return to learning, and every child has their own unique place.
What
Families
Are Saying
‘Thanks for all your effort with this and for going above and beyond for our family! I would like to highlight here our positive feedback to the Wildheart Foundation in that you have been an amazing tutor/organisation. We are comfortable with you coming into our personal space, and James (our son) has been able to build up trust in another adult following his turbulent experience of mainstream education. Thank you for your deep understanding and continuous development around the very distinctive and complex PDA profile. It certainly is a specialism to come into our world and work with us!‘
