About the School:

We’re partnering with an outstanding specialist SEND school in Rochdale where inclusion isn’t just a policy – it’s a way of life. This close‑knit, nurturing school supports young people aged 11-19 with some of the most complex needs in the borough, offering bespoke learning pathways tailored to each individual. If you believe every young person deserves the right support to thrive, this is your kind of place.

About the Role:

As a SEND Support Worker, you’ll provide hands‑on, personalised support to students whose needs require a little more – more patience, more creativity, more consistency. Working closely with teachers, therapists, and families, you’ll help remove the barriers that stand between a young person and their potential. It’s challenging, meaningful work – and no two days will ever be the same.

What We’re Looking For:

• Confidence working with students with PMLD, SLD, ASD, physical disabilities, or sensory impairments
• A warm, person‑centred approach with genuine commitment to student wellbeing
• Ability to follow detailed support and care plans accurately and consistently
• Any experience of BSL, AAC, Makaton, or other communication approaches is a strong advantage
• CACHE, NVQ, or relevant health and social care qualification desirable

To Be Eligible You Must:

• Hold Right to Work in the UK
• Have an enhanced DBS certificate already on the update service or be willing to apply for a new one
• Provide two professional references from child‑related roles
• Be committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people
