Luma Education Recruitment is looking for an enthusiastic and committed Outreach Tutor / Learning Support Assistant to join a specialist education setting in Totnes, Devon.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working closely with young people and wants a role that goes beyond the traditional classroom environment.

You will support young people with SEN, SEND and SEMH needs with their education, confidence, communication, independence and life skills. The role combines learning support with outreach and community-based activities, so no two days are necessarily the same.

You could be supporting a learning activity in the morning, heading into the community with a young person, helping with a practical life-skills activity or supporting them to access a new environment or experience.

It is an ideal opportunity for an experienced Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant, SEN TA, tutor, learning mentor or support worker looking to develop their experience within specialist education and alternative provision.

As an Outreach Tutor / Learning Support Assistant, you’ll provide individualised support to young people both within the education setting and in the wider community.

• Providing 1:1 and small-group learning support
• Supporting young people with SEN, SEND, SEMH, autism, ADHD and additional learning needs
• Supporting English, Maths and wider educational activities
• Helping pupils develop confidence, communication and social skills
• Supporting practical learning and life-skills development
• Accompanying young people on community activities, trips and visits
• Supporting shopping trips, budgeting and other everyday activities
• Helping young people make choices and develop greater independence
• Encouraging pupils to participate in new activities and experiences
• Supporting positive behaviour and emotional regulation
• Helping young people become more confident accessing their local community
• Building positive and consistent relationships with individual pupils
• Working alongside teachers and the wider specialist education team
• Supporting young people to develop skills they can use beyond the classroom
