Do you want to work in a supportive environment delivering exceptional support and education? 

A larger than average Academy in Darwen is looking for an SEN Learning Support Assistant to support learners aged 11-16, in particular those who may have received all manner of set-backs in and outside of education.  We are looking for SEN Learning and Behavioural Support staff, with a passion for working with young people to apply now.

• Supporting pupils to develop crucial life skills to help them thrive

You will need to be well organised, have good planning skills, an appreciation of health & safety in the workplace along with a commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Above all, you will also need the physical and emotional resilience to work with young people who sometimes present with behaviours that challenge.
