SEND Support Staff

Salary: £16.8 – £19.2 per hour

SENDhelp, need you help to support the Luton borough Council in providing at home education for a pupil with extreme Learning difficulties.

This role is for an SEND Support Staff to work closely with another member of staff supporting a child with outside the school environment. You will be expected to work in the pupil’s home and work towards increasing their confidence and independence. The pupil in question can often show signs of challenging behaviour and so you will need to be both passionate and resilient.

To fulfil the requirements of an SEND Support Staff, you will be working with another Teaching Assistant and support the pupil holistically, which can include sensory play activities and going out into the community. This position is advertised as being part time 3 days a week but we are looking to increasing to 5 days as the pupil becomes comfortable with the two TA’s. Potentially this vacancy could increase to a permanent position as the student’s level of confidence increases.

The successful SEND Support Staff will:

• Have previous experience working with SEND pupils
• show enthusiasm and a willingness to engage in all activities
• Be available to start working part time ASAP
• Display both confidence and patience
• Have an enhanced DBS on the update system
• be able to easily commute to Luton

By Joining SENDhelp, you will be supported by a dedicated consultant who will work closely with you throughout your placement. You will also have access to over 400 online courses, all free of charge designed to increase your competence. In addition to this you will receive competitive pay, our agency are proud to pay all our candidates above the National Living Wage.

We look forward to welcoming you as our new SEND Support Staff!
