Description

Can you inspire hope for the most vulnerable young people?

For those with SEN and SEMH needs, attending school can feel impossible. Overwhelming classrooms, lack of understanding and pressure on resources often leaves them without vital support and many end up as unwilling or unable to attend.

Being out of education, these young people are desperately in need of your experience, expertise and understanding, which is why you should consider working with Fresh Start in Education. Working on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis, in placements set up and supported by our dedicated team, you will plan, deliver or support bespoke learning programmes designed around your student’s needs and interests.

Your skills and commitment will help ready our students to reintegrate back into education.

The placements:

• Working with your student on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis in their home or a suitable venue
• Planning and delivering 2-5 sessions per week. Each session is between 3-5 hours, during school hours and term-times only.
• Placements organised and supported by our dedicated teams
• Bank Staff worker – providing short-term provisions as and when they arise, paid via PAYE

What you need to apply:

• Minimum of 2 years’ professional experience working with vulnerable children or young people with additional needs (SEN, SEMH needs and other barriers to learning)
• Experience delivering or supporting English and Maths at Primary or Secondary levels, along with other subjects if possible
• Consistent availability to commit to a minimum of 2 sessions per week (a minimum of 2 working days)
• A commitment to keeping children and young people safe and a practical and up to date knowledge of safeguarding

The benefits:

• Competitive hourly rate of £25 to £35 per hour
• Subsidised travel costs + £15 per day for resources
• Free wellbeing and counselling service, pension option & store discounts
• Work for a nationally recognised provider of specialist academic, social and emotional support for vulnerable young children and adults
