Do you have a passion for helping children reach their full potential and ready to make a real impact in the lives of young learners with Special Educational Needs (SEN)?

  • Assist with behaviour management, using positive reinforcement and emotional regulation strategies
  • Work collaboratively with teachers, SENCOs, and external professionals to implement personalised support plans and EHCPs
  • Encourage pupils to develop confidence, independence, and self-esteem
  • Support pupils with personal care where necessary (in some settings)

What We're Looking For:

  • Experience supporting children with SEN (desirable, not essential)
  • A genuine interest in understanding and supporting children with autism, ADHD, SEMH, or communication needs
  • Patience, empathy, and a calm approach to challenges
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
