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 role primarily involves supporting students on a 1:1 basis, with occasional requirements to work with small groups. This college specializes in students with various learning difficulties aged 16 and above.
The college offers full-time and part-time courses, as well as residential options. Work opportunities will vary depending on the students' needs, which may include typical school hours as well as evenings.
Due to the needs of the students, the right candidate should be comfortable administering personal care and using hoist equipment. You will need to be empathetic, patient, and committed to ensuring that students have the best possible start in adult life, 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 engage with non-verbal students. Following the instructions and plans laid out in each student’s healthcare plan is essential.
If you have experience working in schools, care homes, or in any capacity with special needs, we encourage you to get in touch. To work with children, you must have an enhanced DBS on the update service or be willing to apply for one upon application.
