Job description

Creative/Theatrical/Artistic Learning Support Assistant

Protocol Education are looking to recruit a Learning Support Assistant with a creative background to support in a SEND school in Chelmsford. This role is designed to foster creativity in the classroom, inspiring and encouraging SEND students.

The children you will be supporting have a variety of special needs, including ASD, Social, Emotional, Mental Health needs (SEMH), and complex learning disabilities, or may need behavioral support.

You will be required to aid in the daily activities of the classroom and use your creative background to uniquely support the SEND children. You will provide 1:1 support and create a positive atmosphere. A friendly and positive approach to teaching and learning, along with the ability to quickly build strong relationships and rapport with individual children, is important.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Experience working with SEND or children.
• Strong interpersonal skills.
• A passion for education and creating an environment in which students can improve their studies.
• The ability to use your creative nature to engage students, improve confidence, and positively influence a fun and supportive learning process.

The role includes:

• Supervising pupils with SEND, ensuring their safety and ability to access learning activities and understand the information presented.
• Aiding the execution of education plans suitable to each pupil’s learning objectives.
• Building trusting relationships with all pupils and communicating according to their understanding.
• Promoting class interaction and ensuring pupils engage throughout the lessons.
• Creating an interesting environment for students.
• Assisting pupils with practical activities using a variety of teaching aids.
• Looking after children's physical, social, and emotional welfare.

Your experience does not necessarily need to be in a school environment, but rather in working or volunteering in youth groups, sports coaching, or after-school clubs, to name a few.

If you have a real passion for supporting children with special needs and think this role sounds right for you, please apply!
