For children with additional needs, feeling included in school can be just as important as academic progress.
A supportive adult who understands their challenges, recognises their strengths and encourages them to participate can make a lasting difference.

- Provide tailored 1:1 and small-group learning support.
- Support pupils with autism, ADHD, SEMH, communication difficulties and learning needs.

- Encourage positive relationships and social interaction.
- Support emotional regulation and behaviour strategies.
- Build pupils' confidence and independence.
- Assist with transitions, routines and enrichment activities.
- Follow individual education and support plans.
- Share observations and contribute to pupil progress reviews.
You may already be working as a Teaching Assistant, SEN Support Worker, Learning Support Assistant, Behaviour Mentor or Youth Worker.
We're particularly interested in people who have experience supporting children or young people with SEND and understand the importance of patience, consistency and positive relationships.
You'll need to be resilient, adaptable and comfortable working as part of a specialist team.
A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle are essential.
An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one, is also required.
- Competitive rates of pay.
- Full-time, term-time work.
- Long-term opportunities in specialist education.
