Jobbeschreibung

Success at school looks different for every child.

For one pupil, it might be completing a piece of work independently.

For another, communicating a choice, managing a transition successfully or developing the confidence to participate in an activity alongside their peers.

We're recruiting a SEND Health & Care Support Assistant to join a specialist educational setting in Saltash with an immediate start available.

This is a varied role supporting children and young people whose additional educational needs may be accompanied by physical, communication, health or personal-care requirements.

Your role isn't to do everything for a young person. It's to provide the right level of support so they can do as much as possible for themselves.

You'll work closely with education and specialist professionals to ensure pupils receive consistent support throughout their day.

Depending on individual needs, you may:

• Help pupils engage with lessons and learning activities.
• Provide individual 1:1 support.
• Follow Education, Health and Care Plan outcomes and individual support plans.
• Assist with appropriate health and personal-care requirements.
• Support mobility and physical access where required.
• Use visual, sensory or practical approaches to support engagement.
• Encourage social interaction and positive relationships.
• Support emotional regulation.
• Help young people manage changes and transitions.
• Encourage choice and independence.
• Accompany pupils during enrichment activities and educational visits.
• Work closely with teachers, therapists and other professionals.
• Maintain pupils' dignity, safety and wellbeing at all times.

Appropriate training will be provided for specific health or care procedures required within the role.

You don't necessarily need to come from a traditional classroom background.

Experience within care, healthcare, SEND, children's services, residential support or education could provide an excellent foundation.

Perhaps you're currently a Healthcare Assistant or Support Worker and would like to move into a term-time educational environment.

Or you may already work within SEND and want to develop your experience supporting pupils with more complex needs.

What matters is that you're compassionate, observant, reliable and comfortable providing both learning and care support.

You'll need an Enhanced DBS on the Update Service or be willing to obtain one, together with satisfactory references and relevant safeguarding checks.

You'll receive:

• An immediate start.
• A long-term opportunity.
• Ongoing training and professional development.
• Valuable SEND and complex-needs experience.
• Support from experienced education and care professionals.
