Job description

Overview

Are you currently studying at UWE or the University of Bristol? Are your studies in pyschology or childhood studies, or even within education? Rather than doing work that simply just helps with the bills, perhaps consider doing that and making your paid work more helpful to your career goals.

We are looking for such people to take on either full time or part time work supporting students in either mainstream or specialist schools on either a small group or 1:1 basis. Working hours are 8:30-3:30, between Monday to Friday and term time only.

You will need to have a keen interest in working with children and be studying something that is related to this work, so if you are doing something in IT for example, this is not work for you, unless you have previous experience supporting students. We are looking for people that are resourceful, resilient and have a warm disposition that children will open up to.

Students will have a range of diagnosis' such as autism, ADHD, social, emotional and mental health, down syndrome among others. Students will need support to strive in their learning but also need support in their social development to better engage with their peers and grow to be as independant as possible.
