Horizon Teachers are working with an SEND School in the Croydon area that are looking to appoint Learning Support Assistants to help cover with staff absences on a long-term, full-time basis starting as soon as possible, until the end of the academic year in July 2025.
The school caters for students aged 11 - 17 that have Mild Learning Difficulties, such as Autism and being non-verbal. As some of the students in this school have challenging behaviours, it would be desirable if you have previous experience supporting students with SEN needs, but this isn't essential.
As a Learning Support Assistant within this school, you will need to be patient, energetic, and resilient in nature, and be able to be flexible with a positive attitude to create a relationship with the students. This will be a very rewarding role for the right person and will pay up to £550 per week.
What the school is looking for in their Learning Support Assistants:
1. Previous experience working with SEND - especially children with Autism and challenging behaviours
2. Moving and Handling experience is very desirable
3. Comfortable to lead small groups as well as working 1:1 with vulnerable students
4. Happy to conduct personal care
5. Passionate and not afraid to get hands-on
Why Horizon Teachers:
1. Each registration process is completed from home via one online link and a video call
2. A team of specialist education consultants
3. Great Google review from teachers and support staff with a 4.8 rating
4. Free certified safeguarding training offered to all support staff once registered with Horizon
