SEN Learning Support Assistant

Location: Sunderland Start: ASAP Pay: £95-£110 per day Hours: Part-time & Full-time opportunities

Are you passionate about supporting young people with additional needs and looking for a rewarding role where you can make a genuine difference?

Veritas Education is recruiting SEN Learning Support Assistants to work within a welcoming specialist education setting in Sunderland.

The school supports children and young people with a range of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Pupils may require additional help with their learning, communication, social development and independence, so we're looking for patient, positive people who can build strong relationships and provide consistent support.

The role:

  • Supporting pupils 1:1 and in small groups
  • Helping learners access lessons and activities
  • Supporting communication, confidence and independence
  • Encouraging positive engagement and behaviour
  • Working alongside teachers and experienced support staff
  • Helping create a safe, supportive learning environment
  • Who are we looking for?

    Previous SEN, school, care or support-work experience is preferable, but it isn't essential.

    We'd also love to hear from graduates interested in developing a career within SEN or education. Psychology, Education, Childhood Studies, Sports Coaching and similar backgrounds could all transfer well.

    Most importantly, you'll need to be patient, reliable, resilient and genuinely motivated to support young people.

    Why work with Veritas Education?

  • Training and development available
  • Ongoing support from your Veritas consultant
  • Valuable experience within specialist education
  • Excellent opportunity for graduates looking to get into SEN
  • Interested? Apply today with your CV and we'll be in touch to discuss the opportunity.

  • Your CV must cover the last 10 years of employment history where possible and all employment breaks must be explained
  • You must have legal right to work in the UK
  • You must be willing to attend a registration interview
