SEN Teaching Assistant

We are looking to recruit support workers to work in one of our partnered SEN colleges. The learners in this college are all over the age of 16, with some being up to 25 years of age.

The college is a speciality provision, with all learners being diagnosed with some form of complex SEN. This includes Sever Autism, SLD, PMLD and other forms of severe learning difficulties. Due to these additional needs the learners are working at much lower levels with the curriculum being based around independent living skills, such as budgeting, finance, cooking.

The college is looking for Support workers who will:

• Support the learners with their daily learning
• Provide a good example of how to complete tasks
• Be a calming presence
• Show patience and understanding to these learners.
