If you’ve got a passion for inclusion, a knack for communication, and the patience of a saint (or at least someone who doesn’t flinch when glitter gets everywhere), this one’s for you! Fun Fact: Gravesend is home to the world’s oldest cast iron pier, built in 1834 and still standing strong. Just like the kind of support you’ll be giving in the classroom: solid, reliable, and occasionally holding up a lot of weight!

Contract: Full time – September start

Salary: £90 - £100 per day

What You’ll Be Doing (aka Your Superpowers):

• Supporting students with EHCPs (Education, Health and Care Plans) to access learning and thrive
• Using scaffolding techniques to break down learning into manageable, confidence-boosting steps
• Championing inclusive practices that celebrate every learner’s unique strengths
• Building strong, positive communication with students, staff, and parents
• Creating a safe, engaging, and supportive classroom environment where everyone feels seen and heard

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience working with children or young people (bonus points if it’s in a school setting!)
• Level 2 or 3 Certificate in Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools
• Training in Special Educational Needs (SEN)
• A calm, patient, and proactive approach
• A genuine passion for helping students overcome barriers to learning
• Knowledge of EHCPs and how to support them in practice
• A team player with a great sense of humour and a heart of gold

Benefits:

• Access to tailored professional development and CPD opportunities.
• A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your placement.
• Competitive pay rates and flexible working options.
• Opportunities to connect with a network of educators and schools.
• Referral bonus scheme – Earn up to £150 when you refer a friend.
