Working closely with the school’s SEN team and subject teachers, you’ll provide one-to-one and small group support both in and out of the classroom. You’ll play a vital role in helping students overcome barriers to learning, build self-confidence, and engage positively with school life.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your understanding of inclusive education in a secondary school context, while making a real difference to students’ progress and wellbeing.

  • Strong communication and teamwork skills

    • Gain hands-on experience in a supportive secondary school environment


    • Receive excellent training and guidance from experienced staff and SEN specialists


    • Build a strong foundation for teacher training or a career in SEN, psychology, or youth work


      Start Date: September 2025
