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 some requirements to work with small groups as well. The college specializes in students with various learning difficulties aged 16 and above.
The college offers full or part-time courses, including residential options. Work opportunities will vary depending on the students and the type of support you wish to provide, which may include typical school hours as well as evenings.
Due to the needs of the students, the right candidate must be comfortable administering personal care and using hoist equipment. You should 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 the 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 while following the instructions and plans outlined in each student's healthcare plan.
If you have experience working in schools, care homes, or any other role involving special needs, please get in touch today to explore opportunities. To work with children, you will need to have an enhanced DBS on the update service or apply for one upon application.
