Contract: Full-time | Term Time Only
Tradewind Recruitment are currently recruiting for a High Needs Classroom Support Assistant to join a specialist SEN school in Sheffield, supporting children and young people with complex and high-level additional needs.
This is a role for someone who genuinely wants to make a difference, but it is not an easy position. Pupils may have significant communication difficulties, complex learning needs, emotional regulation difficulties and challenging behaviours, which can include aggression and behaviours that can be physically demanding to manage.
The successful candidate will need to be resilient, patient and nurturing, while also being confident enough to maintain boundaries and remain calm when situations become difficult. Every day can be different, and you will need to be prepared for the challenges that come with working in a high-needs SEN environment.
The Role
Supporting pupils with high and complex needs within the classroom
Providing 1:1 and small-group support where required
Supporting learning, communication and emotional regulation
Helping pupils manage challenging situations and behaviours
Building positive and trusting relationships with pupils
Working closely with teachers and other specialist staff
Following individual support plans and behaviour strategies
Supporting pupils to develop independence and life skills
What We're Looking For
Experience working with SEN, complex needs or challenging behaviour
A calm, patient and genuinely nurturing approach
Strong resilience and the ability to remain composed under pressure
Someone who is comfortable working in a demanding and sometimes unpredictable environment
Excellent communication and teamwork skills
Experience in education, care, residential support, healthcare or similar settings would be beneficial
Pay
The role pays £95-£120 per day. The exact rate offered will depend on experience, availability and the individual school's budget.
