Children's Support Worker - SEND School Middlesbrough

Teaching Personnel are working in partnership with an SEND school in Middlesbrough who are seeking a childrens's support worker on a full time basis, to commence as soon as possible working with students who are living children's residential homes or foster care.

The role will involve working on a 1:1 basis with pupils aged 11-16; the students are in need of extra support and guidance during their lesson time. The main aspect of the role will be helping the students to engage with their learning, and encouraging personal and social development whilst managing challenging behaviour throughout the day. You will be expected to monitor student's personal progress within lessons, and you will have regular meetings with the class teacher to discuss this and to provide support for yourself within the role. Students in this provision often display extremely challenging behaviour, as well as social emotional and mental health difficulties.

The client school welcomes candidates with backgrounds in education, youth/social work, counselling and graduates so this role is ideal for those looking to move their career into educational fields. You will be passionate about improving the lives of young people and have a strong desire to work with SEND.

You will be supported by a specialist team of SEN recruitment consultants with education backgrounds, who are well placed to enrol you onto your desired courses and place you into schools.
