You'll help pupils access learning in a way that suits them, offering support with communication barriers, sensory processing challenges, physical or medical requirements, and behaviours that may be rooted in anxiety or frustration.

Working closely with teachers and specialist staff, you'll provide consistent, compassionate support that helps every student feel understood and empowered. Whether you're assisting with daily routines, supporting with therapies or interventions, or simply celebrating each child's progress, your presence will be vital.

The Ideal Candidate Will Be:

* Comfortable with providing personal care and physical assistance when required

* Able to use empathy and initiative to build positive relationships

* Calm, proactive, and reliable

* Holding relevant qualifications or training (or willing to undertake training)

We're Looking For Someone Who:

Brings enthusiasm, patience, and commitment to making a lasting difference. You might already have experience in a special school, residential setting, or care environment-or simply a strong desire to work in this rewarding field.

What You'll Get:

* A long-term role in a welcoming and well-supported SEN setting

* Regular support from a specialist SEN consultant who understands your role

* Competitive rates of pay and access to our 'Refer a Friend' incentive

* The opportunity to contribute to the progress and wellbeing of young learners
