The Role

As a SEND Learning Support Worker, you will work closely with students who require additional support throughout their college day. You will provide personalised assistance both inside and outside the classroom, encouraging independence while ensuring each learner can participate fully in their education.

Experience

SEND or SEN schools.
Further Education or Higher Education settings.
Colleges or educational environments.
Care, support work, or healthcare.
Youth work or community support.
Experience with British Sign Language (BSL) or Makaton would be highly advantageous but is not essential.
