Special Needs Learning Support - Full Time
Zen Educate is seeking someone to take on full-time support work for a special needs college in Gloucester. This will mostly involve supporting students on a 1:1 basis, but there may also be some requirement to work with a small group. This college specializes in students with various learning difficulties aged 16 and over.
The college offers students full or part-time courses, as well as live-in options. Work opportunities will vary depending on the students and the type of support you wish to provide; some may follow typical school hours, while others may include evenings.
Due to the needs of the students, the right person will need to be comfortable administering personal care or using hoist equipment. You should be empathetic, patient, and willing to ensure that students have the best possible start in adult life while learning new skills and preparing for life outside of college.
The ideal candidate will work well both independently and as part of a team, possess strong communication skills, and be able to work with non-verbal individuals. Following the instructions and plans laid out in a student's healthcare plan is essential.
If you have experience working in schools, care homes, or other settings with special needs, please get in touch today to see what we can do for you. To work with children, you will need to have an enhanced DBS on the update service or apply for one upon application.
