Summary
Empower Young Minds: Specialist Education & Care Assistant - Saltash
Are you passionate about helping children and young people overcome challenges and achieve their goals? We are currently seeking a caring and motivated Specialist Education & Care Assistant to join a dedicated team in Saltash, providing vital support to students with a range of special educational needs and additional learning requirements.
This is an exciting opportunity to work in a rewarding environment where no two days are the same. You will play an important role in supporting students both academically and personally, helping them build confidence, develop independence, and engage positively with their education.
Situated in the welcoming town of Saltash, this role offers the chance to become part of a supportive educational community that is committed to creating positive outcomes for every learner. Working closely with teachers and support staff, you will help deliver tailored support that enables students to access learning and reach their individual potential.
Your responsibilities may include assisting with classroom activities, providing one-to-one and small group support, encouraging positive behaviour, and helping students develop essential communication and social skills. You will also contribute to creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment where students feel valued and supported.
The ideal candidate will be patient, resilient, and enthusiastic, with a genuine desire to make a difference in the lives of young people. Previous experience within education, care, support work, or youth services is beneficial but not essential, as full guidance and support will be provided.
This role offers a competitive daily rate of £90 per day and provides an excellent opportunity for those considering a long-term career in education, special educational needs, psychology, social care, or youth support.
This vacancy is being advertised on Senploy - the UK's leading SEND and education job board. If you are ready to begin a rewarding career where your support can have a lasting impact, we encourage you to submit your CV today.
Join a passionate team in Saltash and help shape brighter futures for children and young people who need it most.
