Job description

Are you looking to empower future minds and make a difference to students with additional needs?
Do you have experience working with children but looking for a new challenge?
Are you calm and compassionate in all situations?

...Then this could be the perfect role for you!

A fantastic SEN school in Swindon are searching for an SEN Mentor to work on a 1:1 basis and group basis with students with special educational needs. The school are looking for someone who can start ASAP who can stay long-term until at least July 2024.

You will be supporting students aged 3 to 18 with a range of needs - Autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, behavioural challenges, sensory issues, physical disabilities and communication difficulties to name a few. As a valued member of staff, you will be supporting the team in dealing with situations ranging from behaviour/well-being situations and emotional regulation. You will also be working closely with the SENCo and class teachers to ensure each student is completing their learning objectives and are supported mentally, emotionally and academically.

This wonderful SEN school has many exceptional facilities to support the needs of students. This ranges from Art/IT/Drama rooms, large outdoor field and an exceptional sports hall. The team of school staff are extremely supportive and are excited to find a bubbly and friendly SEN Classroom Mentor to join their team!

The ideal SEN Mentor will be able to work well under pressure, and be able to handle challenging situations. You will need to be compassionate, caring and be able to bring a positive energy to the classroom. Previous experience working with children, especially those with additional needs would be beneficial though personality is more important. This would be a fantastic opportunity for a graduate looking to gain experience in an education setting, or someone who wants to work in psychology or mental health.
