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.

• 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
