About the School
This specialist primary SEND setting supports children aged 4-11 with severe learning difficulties, often alongside complex medical needs, autism, and communication challenges. Many pupils are non-verbal and require a calm, structured and nurturing environment to help them feel safe, valued and ready to learn.
The school focuses on developing independence, communication, life skills and confidence through a personalised and highly supported curriculum.

-Work well within a multi-disciplinary team
What You'll Be Doing
-Supporting children with severe learning needs in small-group and one-to-one settings
-Assisting with personal care, feeding and mobility support
-Helping deliver sensory, communication and life-skills-based activities
-Supporting behaviour, emotional regulation and social development
-Working alongside teachers, therapists and support staff to meet each child's care and learning needs
-Celebrating every achievement, no matter how small
What's On Offer
-Term-time only hours that fit well around family life
-A calm and supportive working environment
-Ongoing training and development in SEND and medical care
-Experience working in a well-established and respected setting
-£100 joining bonus after 10 shifts
-£250 refer-a-friend scheme
Who Should Apply
This role would suit people from backgrounds such as:
-Care and support work
-Health and social care
-Therapy or family support roles
-Youth and community work
-Nursery, childcare or early years settings
Personal experience supporting a child with SEND
