Job description
SEN Support Worker - Thurrock Essex - 10/15 hours a week (2/3 hours every morning)
We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate SEN Support Worker to provide 1:1 support to a student with severe Special Educational Needs (SEN). The role focuses on developing and reinforcing life skills, independence, and social engagement. The student already has carers in place; therefore, this role is not personal care-based, but instead complements existing care provision by supporting learning, communication, and daily living skills.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide consistent 1:1 support tailored to the student's individual needs, abilities, and interests
- Support the development of life skills, such as:
- Communication and social interaction
- Emotional regulation and coping strategies
- Daily routines and independence skills
- Community awareness and appropriate behaviour
- Encourage engagement in structured and meaningful activities
- Support the student in following routines and transitions throughout sessions
- Work collaboratively with carers, teachers, therapists, and other professionals to ensure a consistent approach
- Observe, record, and report progress, challenges, and achievements
- Promote a safe, calm, and positive environment at all times
- Follow safeguarding, health and safety, and SEN best practice guidelines
Essential needs for the role:
- SEN-related qualifications or training
- Experience supporting life skills or independence programmes
- Knowledge of conditions such as autism, learning disabilities, or communication needs
- Experience working alongside carers or multidisciplinary teams
Additional Information
- No personal care duties required
