• Meaningful work: Provide one-to-one support to the young people that are otherwise left behind
• A team around the child: Our Case Coordinators and pastoral and pathways teams work alongside you and the family
• Associate community: Optional practice-sharing events and shared resources
• Introducer fee: Paid when someone you introduce goes on to work with a young person

At SENse Learning, you’ll be part of a community of like-minded practitioners dedicated to forward-thinking approaches to supporting SEND Learners; working alongside a team that believes in shaping a brighter future for every student.
