Job Opportunity: Education, Health, and Care Assistant (ECHA)
We are working with a local SEN school in Plymouth to recruit for an Education, Health, and Care Assistant (ECHA) role.
The school supports pupils with Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs), which outline their specific needs and the support required to meet them. While the school has traditionally employed Teaching Assistants (TAs), the role has evolved to meet the more complex demands of EHCPs, requiring a dedicated ECHA.
Role Overview
As an ECHA, you will:
* Work under the guidance of teaching staff, Higher-Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs), and medical professionals.
* Support pupils with education, care, and medical programmes to enhance their access to learning.
* Assist teachers in managing pupils support needs and contribute to the organisation and smooth running of the classroom.
This role may involve working in the classroom, alternative learning environments, or off-site locations.
