About the role

Luma Education Recruitment is looking for an enthusiastic and committed Outreach Tutor / Learning Support Assistant to join a specialist education setting in Totnes, Devon.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working closely with young people and wants a role that goes beyond the traditional classroom environment.

You will support young people with SEN, SEND and SEMH needs with their education, confidence, communication, independence and life skills. The role combines learning support with outreach and community-based activities, so no two days are necessarily the same.

You could be supporting a learning activity in the morning, heading into the community with a young person, helping with a practical life-skills activity or supporting them to access a new environment or experience.

It is an ideal opportunity for an experienced Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant, SEN TA, tutor, learning mentor or support worker looking to develop their experience within specialist education and alternative provision.

• Accompanying young people on community activities, trips and visits
• Supporting shopping trips, budgeting and other everyday activities
• Helping young people make choices and develop greater independence
• Encouraging pupils to participate in new activities and experiences
• Supporting positive behaviour and emotional regulation
• Helping young people become more confident accessing their local community
• Building positive and consistent relationships with individual pupils
• Working alongside teachers and the wider specialist education team
• Supporting young people to develop skills they can use beyond the classroom

Who would suit this role?

• Support Worker
• Residential Support Worker

Experience supporting children or young people with SEND, SEN, SEMH, autism, ADHD, behavioural needs or additional learning needs would be beneficial.

You don't necessarily need to have followed a traditional education career path. If you have relevant experience, a positive attitude and genuinely enjoy helping young people develop, we'd like to hear from you.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Patient, positive and reliable
• Confident building relationships with young people
• Interested in SEN, SEND, SEMH and alternative provision
• Confident supporting young people outside the classroom
