Education ⫽ SEN Support Jobs

We are a specialist education college supporting young people aged 16-25 with disabilities, complex needs, and autism. We are dedicated to providing an inclusive, supportive environment where students can learn and grow at their own pace. Every day here is unique, but our mission remains the same: to empower each student and help them reach a brighter future. As a Learning Support Assistant, you will help break down barriers to education, working closely with students in their learning and personal growth. This role involves supporting students across all areas of their learning, including in classrooms, external placements, and on visits, as well as assisting with communication, personal care, mobility, and therapy needs (with supervision and training as required). Responsibilities

• Support and Guidance: Work one-to-one and in small groups to provide tailored learning support, helping students to progress along their personal learning journey.
• Multidisciplinary Approach: Collaborate closely with teachers, speech and language therapists, educational psychologists, and other educational assistants.
• Enrichment Activities: Assist students in a range of settings, including swimming, hydrotherapy, and other therapeutic or recreational environments, supporting them both within and outside the classroom.
