Full-Time | Long-Term Opportunity | Monday–Friday | Immediate Start
Make a meaningful difference every day. Help young people with complex additional needs develop confidence, communication skills and independence.
SENDhelp is recruiting a dedicated, compassionate and enthusiastic SEN Learning support Assistant to join a specialist SEND school in High Wycombe.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone passionate about special educational needs to become part of a specialist educational environment where every achievement, however small, represents meaningful progress.
As a SEN Learning support Assistant in High Wycombe, you will help children and young people with complex learning, communication, sensory and physical needs access education, develop essential life skills and achieve their individual potential.
About the School
Our client is an established specialist SEND school in High Wycombe, supporting children and young people aged approximately 7–19 with a diverse range of complex additional needs.
The school provides individualised education for pupils with needs including:
Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC/ASD)
Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD)
Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD)
Speech, language and communication difficulties
Sensory processing and sensory impairment needs
Complex physical disabilities and associated medical needs
Significant cognitive and developmental difficulties
The school's educational approach places pupil wellbeing, communication, personal development and independence at the heart of learning.
Teaching is carefully adapted to individual abilities, with an emphasis on practical life skills, meaningful communication, emotional wellbeing and preparation for adulthood.
For an ambitious SEN Learning support Assistant, this High Wycombe opportunity offers the chance to contribute to a personalised, specialist approach to education, working alongside experienced education professionals who understand the importance of celebrating individual progress.
Your Role as a SEN Learning support Assistant
As a SEN Learning support Assistant, you will play an important role in helping pupils access learning and participate fully in school life.
Your responsibilities are expected to include:
Providing individual and small-group support to pupils with complex SEND.
Supporting personalised learning activities adapted to pupils' individual needs and EHCP outcomes.
Encouraging communication using appropriate verbal, visual, sensory and alternative communication approaches.
Helping pupils develop confidence, independence and essential daily living skills.
Supporting emotional regulation and positive relationships through patient, consistent and respectful approaches.
Assisting teachers in delivering engaging, accessible and inclusive learning experiences.
Supporting pupils with sensory, physical and mobility needs, following individual care plans and appropriate training.
Promoting a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where every pupil feels valued.
Working collaboratively with teaching staff and relevant specialists to support pupil progress.
Every day as a SEN Learning support Assistant in High Wycombe offers the opportunity to make a genuine difference to a young person's educational journey.
What We're Looking For
We would particularly welcome applications from individuals who are passionate about SEND education and understand the importance of personalised support.
Key personal qualities:
A caring, patient and empathetic approach.
Resilience, adaptability and a positive attitude.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
A willingness to learn and follow specialist support strategies.
Commitment to safeguarding, dignity and pupil wellbeing.
Reliability and the ability to work effectively within a team.
Experience and skills that would be advantageous:
Previous experience as a SEN Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant, Support Worker or Care Assistant.
Experience supporting autism, SLD, PMLD or complex additional needs.
Knowledge of alternative communication methods, sensory support or positive behaviour approaches.
Experience supporting children or young people with physical disabilities or additional care needs.
Relevant qualifications in education, childcare, health and social care or SEND.
Candidates with transferable experience from care, healthcare or support work are also encouraged to apply.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This SEN Learning support Assistant position in High Wycombe offers much more than a typical classroom support role.
You will have the opportunity to contribute to education that prioritises individual achievement, communication and independence.
Whether you are helping a pupil express a choice, participate in an activity, build a relationship or develop a practical life skill, your contribution can have a lasting impact.
With a consistent Monday-to-Friday working pattern and a long-term placement, this is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build meaningful experience within specialist SEND education.
