About the Role

We're proud to be working with an Outstanding SEN academy in the Dartford area that supports children and young people aged 2-19 with a range of additional needs including ASD, SLD, PMLD, and complex communication or sensory needs.

• Assist with communication, sensory and physical needs, including personal care where required.
• Promote positive behaviour and emotional regulation.
• Contribute to a nurturing, inclusive classroom where every pupil can thrive.

About You

• Experience supporting children or young people with SEN (school or care settings welcomed).
• Positive, patient and empathetic nature.
• Good communication skills and ability to build trusting relationships.
• Team-focused attitude and a willingness to learn.
• Additional SEN-related training (e.g. Makaton, PECS, manual handling) is a bonus but not essential.

What's on Offer

• £95 - £110 per day, depending on experience.
• Long-term opportunity with the potential for a permanent role.
• Supportive, experienced team in an Outstanding specialist school.
• Full training, ongoing CPD, and clear progression routes.

If you're passionate about supporting young people with special educational needs and want to be part of a positive, forward-thinking school, we'd love to hear from you.
