Job Description

Are you a dynamic individual seeking an opportunity to support children in a Special Educational Needs environment?

Whether you're looking for full-time or part-time work, if you have experience with various SEND needs such as ASC, SEMH, PMLD, and more, we want to hear from you!

We are currently seeking a creative individual to join our school community, providing support to children with SEND needs. Previous experience is not necessary for this role! As an actor/actress, you bring a wealth of transferable skills to the table, including proficiency in role-playing.

SEND Needs: Autism, ADHD, Down's Syndrome and Moderate Learning Difficulties

SEMH Needs: Anxiety, Depression and Trauma

Your primary responsibilities will involve assisting with day-to-day classroom activities, reinforcing targets, offering supervision and support as needed, and maintaining consistent routines for the children. A calm and positive attitude is essential, as is a proactive approach to building relationships with the children.

While experience working with children is preferred, it is not essential for this role, a creative and positive mindset is a must.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Providing 1:1 support to children with special needs and lower ability levels.
• Supporting students with Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and other Specific Learning Difficulties.
• Assisting in managing challenging behaviour and promoting positive learning experiences.
• Helping to create a safe, inclusive environment where every child feels valued and supported.
• Working closely with teachers to ensure the learning needs of each child are met effectively.

Who We're Looking For:

• A flexible, enthusiastic attitude and a genuine interest in working with children with special educational needs.
• No prior school experience required - we'll provide online training to equip you with the skills you need.
• Graduates or those with transferrable skills in areas like childcare, psychology, or social care are encouraged to apply.
• You should have the energy, patience, and dedication to support children with complex needs, including Autism and ADHD.

Benefits to YOU:

• Competitive pay rates that reflect your skills and commitment.
• Wellbeing support to help you balance work and personal life.
• 24/7 access to your personal consultant who's always available to offer guidance and support.
• Ongoing training to enhance your knowledge and skillset.
• A supportive environment where you can grow and make a lasting impact in the field of education.
