We are seeking a SEN Support Worker to join our specialist team in Hyndburn supporting pupils with a range of complex needs, including autism, learning difficulties, physical disabilities, and communication challenges.
This is not a typical classroom role. Our pupils require personalised support, and you'll be working closely with them to help build routine, emotional regulation, and confidence both in and out of the classroom.

Support emotional and behavioural regulation using trauma-informed approaches
Promote independence and positive communication using tools like Makaton, PECS, or AAC (training available)
Maintain a safe, supportive and engaging environment for all pupils

We value character, compassion, and consistency above all.
You might come from a background in:
Care or support work (children or adults)
Health or social care
Youth work or mentoring
Education or early years
Or you might simply be someone with strong interpersonal skills, a calm and caring nature, and a genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs.
Essential qualities:
Patience, empathy and a proactive mindset
Willingness to carry out personal care with dignity and respect
Good communication and teamwork skills
A flexible, "can-do" attitude and emotional resilience
Desirable (but not essential):
Experience working with children or young people with SEND
