Description

At Axcis Education, we are proud of our long-standing partnership with a well-reputed trust of SEN schools across South Gloucestershire, with sites in North Bristol, Yate, and Thornbury. These schools provide specialist education for students with a wide range of complex needs, including Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD).

About the Schools:

The trust's schools are nurturing, inclusive environments where every pupil is truly valued. The settings are highly student-centred, and staff work collaboratively to ensure that each child can thrive and reach their full potential.
Whether supporting non-verbal students through sensory play, facilitating outdoor learning and life-skills activities, or assisting with therapy-based interventions, no two days are the same. You’ll be part of a multidisciplinary team where communication, empathy, and a proactive attitude are key.
The schools champion respect, inclusion, creativity, and a personalised approach to learning, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and professional development.

Who is this role ideal for?

We welcome applications from:

• Nursery Practitioners: Many find the transition into SEN school settings seamless due to the play-based, sensory and developmental approaches used in both sectors.
• Support Workers or Carers: Especially those with experience supporting individuals with autism, complex medical needs, or learning difficulties in residential or community settings.
• Students or Graduates in Psychology, Education, or Sociology: This is an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience in a classroom environment, supporting SEND students directly and working alongside experienced professionals.
• Individuals seeking flexibility: Whether you are looking for regular work or last-minute, ad-hoc shifts, this role offers flexible scheduling to suit your lifestyle.
