You'll be responsible for:

- Providing emotional and social support to help students feel safe and included
- Reporting any safeguarding or wellbeing concerns promptly to the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL)
What You'll Need to Succeed:
- Experience working with young people, ideally including those with SEN (education, care, coaching, youth work)
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships
- Patience, resilience, and a proactive approach to supporting diverse learning needs
- Flexibility to work across different subjects and settings, including mainstream and specialist schools
- A genuine commitment to inclusion and helping every student reach their potential
What You'll Get in Return:
- Competitive daily pay rates from £85 to £135
- A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your journey
- Opportunities for both short-term and long-term placements in SEN and mainstream settings
- Access to professional development and SEN-specific training
- Referral bonus of £250 in vouchers when you refer a friend who completes 20 days of supply
