We are currently working with a constantly growing Alternative Provision that has just acquired new space and needs additional staff to start ASAP. These roles will start out temporary but will be permanent after a successful probationary period. The AP caters for students with SEND, SEMH needs, ASC, ADHD and increasing complex care needs.
Due to this, the setting is looking for people with experience in the following areas:
- Children’s residential care
- Specialist SEND residential settings
- Autism and learning disability services
- Complex needs care
- Supported living
- Residential support work
- Children’s disability services
A large part of your role will be to understand and help with dysregulation, behaviour as communication, safeguarding, personal and intimate care, sensory needs, non-verbal or limited communication and community safety. Due to the needs of the students, some sessions may be shorter, so although you will be working 9-3, the students may not be there the entire time, so you may be required to work with different students. The roles will be Monday - Friday.
Although the setting is looking for people with this background, the roles are not care worker roles. You will simply use your skillset and transition them into mentoring roles. The role does require you to hold a full driving licence with Business Insurance.
We're proud to be an inclusive employer, welcoming applicants from all backgrounds and committed to creating accessible opportunities across education. As part of our registration process, you'll need an enhanced DBS check and we'll need to see and copy your original qualifications before any placement. Teaching roles require Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent.
