What will you be doing?

You will provide both

1:1 and small-group support, helping pupils engage with learning, develop their communication and build confidence and independence.

You will also support teachers and specialist professionals with individual learning strategies, interventions and approaches designed around each pupil's needs.

No two days will be exactly the same, making this an excellent opportunity to develop a genuine understanding of SEN education.

Who should apply?

KPI Education would love to hear from graduates in

Psychology, Education, Childhood Studies, Sociology, Linguistics, Criminology, Sports Science, Health & Social Care and other relevant subjects.

What matters most is that you are

patient, resilient, enthusiastic and genuinely passionate about supporting children with SEN.

Perhaps you've finished university and know you want to work within education but aren't ready to commit to teacher training. You may be considering Educational Psychology and need relevant practical experience. Or perhaps your longer-term ambition lies within SALT, therapy or another specialist SEN profession.

Whatever your route, this position gives you the opportunity to turn your degree into

real-world specialist experience.

If you're a graduate who wants more than just a job and you're serious about developing a career within

SEN and education, we want to hear from you.

Apply today with your CV to KPI Education for immediate consideration.
