• Deliver day-to-day support to students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including those with medical care plans, autism, communication difficulties, and sensory processing needs

• Work collaboratively with tutors, support staff, therapists, and other professionals to adapt learning materials and activities
• Play a vital part in progress monitoring, contributing to feedback, support plans, and ensuring students’ individual needs are met
• Maintain consistent communication with the wider team to ensure a joined-up approach to care and education

This is a varied and rewarding role, where your actions have a direct impact every day. Whether supporting a student through a sensory task or helping someone access core subjects, your input will be key to their progress.

What You’ll Bring:

• Experience supporting young people or adults with SEN in a school, college, care, or community setting
• A calm, patient, and compassionate approach, with a passion for working with people with additional needs
• Strong communication and teamwork skills to contribute effectively within a multi-disciplinary team
• A flexible and proactive attitude, with the ability to adapt to changing needs and situations
