Join Us as a SEN Support Worker!

Are you ready to make a real difference in the lives of young people?

We're looking for a dedicated Special Educational Needs (SEN) Support Worker to provide 1:1 support within our partnered special school in Lambeth.

This is a hands-on and rewarding role where no two days are the same. You'll be working with pupils aged 11 - 25 across all key stages, supporting learners who may find traditional classroom environments challenging. Your key focus will be helping pupils feel safe, understood, confident, and supported to make progress.

We're seeking someone who is calm, patient, and resilient, with the ability to build positive relationships and use effective strategies to manage behaviour and maintain engagement. Being able to stay composed under pressure while bringing a caring, proactive approach is essential.

This is a performance-based role, measured by how effectively you support, motivate, and engage with both pupils and school staff. Schools are looking for someone who is flexible across age groups, willing to get involved, and happy to fully immerse themselves in the school environment. When schools see this commitment from you, there is genuine potential for a long-term career opportunity.

If you're passionate about making a meaningful impact and ready to get stuck in, this role could be the perfect next step for you.
