SEND Learning Support Assistant - Clacton-on-Sea

Salary: £90 - £110 per day

Location: Clacton-on-Sea, Essex

Are you looking for a role where you can truly change the trajectory of a young person's life?

Randstad Education is seeking SEND Learning Support Assistants to work within vibrant secondary schools in Clacton-on-Sea.

Clacton schools are dedicated to ensuring that no child is left behind. We need individuals who are not just assistants, but mentors—people who can provide the stability and encouragement that students with additional needs require to thrive in a busy school environment.

The Role

• Inclusion Specialist: Support students with a variety of needs, including Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH), Autism (ASD), and Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD).
• Behaviour Support: Help students manage their emotions and stay engaged with their learning using positive reinforcement techniques.
• 1:1 Mentoring: Work closely with specific students to help them navigate the school day, from core subjects to social interactions.
• Collaboration: Be the "bridge" between the student and the teacher, ensuring that lessons are tailored to the student's specific EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan).

The Requirements

• Resilience: A thick skin and a calm, patient temperament are vital in this role.
• Empathy: The ability to see the world through the student's eyes and understand their barriers to learning.
• Experience: Previous work in education, care, youth coaching, or the military/emergency services is often a great fit for this environment.
• DBS: Enhanced DBS on the update service (or a willingness to apply for one).

The Randstad Benefit

• Pay: £90 - £110 per day, with weekly pay every Friday.
• Referral Bonus: Earn £300 in Love2Shop vouchers for every person you refer to us!
• Career Growth: Access to free, accredited training in Team-Teach, Autism Awareness, and Safeguarding.
• Local Support: A dedicated Essex-based consultant who knows the Clacton schools inside and out.
