(CV22) SEND Teaching Assistant – SEMH

An opportunity to start a meaningful career in Special Education
Start Date: As soon as you are cleared for work 
Hours: 8:30am - 3.30pm
Pay: From £89/day 

If you're looking for a role that truly matters – where every day brings connection, growth, and purpose – we’d love to introduce you to a remarkable school in Cheltenham.

This is a specialist all-through school, supporting children and young people aged 4 to 19 with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), often alongside complex medical needs or behaviours that challenge. The needs are high, but the care is higher – and the ethos here is what makes it genuinely stand out.

A school that stays with you
When I visited recently, what struck us wasn’t just the facilities – though they are excellent – but the atmosphere. This is a place where staff speak about the pupils with real affection, where there's a tangible sense of calm and belonging and where the culture is clearly being shaped with intention.

The school benefits from a new, progressive leadership team who bring both clarity of vision and deep compassion to their leadership. Their approach centres on inclusion, collaboration, and wellbeing – not just for the pupils, but for the staff too. They're building something special here: a place where young people feel safe and respected, and where the staff team feels supported, valued and part of something meaningful.

The role: What you’ll be doing
As a Trainee Child Support Worker, you’ll be embedded in a class team, supporting pupils in both learning and care-based activities. Each child or young person has a unique profile, and your role is to build trusted, consistent relationships that help them engage with the world in a way that feels safe and empowering.

Your day might include:

•	Supporting with a highly individualised curriculum, tailored to sensory and developmental needs
•	Helping pupils access creative and therapeutic activities – such as music, art, hydrotherapy or play
•	Working closely with speech and language therapists, OTs and other specialists to deliver joined-up support
•	Encouraging communication using a range of tools (PECS, Makaton, AAC)
•	Facilitating outdoor learning and movement-based sessions
•	Supporting with personal care, feeding and transitions throughout the day
•	Creating moments of joy and play – whether that’s in a soft playroom, sensory garden, or the much-loved ball pool (which staff have admitted takes real willpower to resist jumping into themselves!)

You’ll be part of a team that puts emotional understanding above behaviour control, and where no physical interventions are used. This is a Thrive school, where safety and connection come first.

Who this is for:
This role doesn’t require prior experience or a traditional education background – what matters most is your attitude and values.

We’re looking for people who are:
•	Naturally empathetic, calm and grounded
•	Confident communicators who can build trust with young people
•	Willing to learn, get stuck in, and work as part of a team
•	Resilient and reflective – able to manage big emotions and stay centred
•	Curious and open to professional growth

Whether you're a graduate exploring SEND, someone changing careers, or returning to education – you’ll be fully supported with induction, CPD, and career pathways (including teaching apprenticeships and progression routes in SEND).

Why this school?
•	A leadership team that prioritises wellbeing and long-term development
•	A multi-agency team (including SALTs, OTs, and play therapists) to support your practice
•	Truly inclusive values, with no exclusion policy and a trauma-informed approach
•	Creative, well-equipped spaces – sensory rooms, therapy suites, art and music zones, and outdoor classrooms
•	A chance to be part of something bigger: a culture where everyone belongs

Trainee SEN Support Worker

Are you a student or recent graduate looking for meaningful, hands-on experience working with children?

Considering a future career in education, psychology, SEN, social work, speech & language therapy, occupational therapy or healthcare?

Want a role that makes a real difference — with school-friendly hours and no nights or weekends?

This could be the perfect stepping stone.

Who Are Axcis?
Axcis is a specialist education recruitment agency focused exclusively on Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Every role we offer involves supporting children and young people with additional needs, including autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, physical disabilities and communication challenges.

About the Role
We are currently recruiting Learning Support Assistants to work in a Special Educational Needs (SEN) school supporting pupils across primary and secondary ages.

This role is ideal if you want practical, front-line experience working closely with children in a structured, supportive educational environment.

What you’ll be doing:
•	Supporting students 1:1 or in small groups throughout the school day
•	Helping pupils access learning, communication and daily routines
•	Encouraging independence, confidence and social development
•	Working closely with teachers, therapists and SEN professionals
No prior school experience is required — full support and training are provided.

About the Schools:
I work closely with a wide range of schools across Gloucestershire, offering opportunities in primary and secondary schools, Special Educational Needs (SEN) schools (also known as Special Schools), Alternative Provisions, and Post-16 settings.
This variety gives you the chance to explore different educational environments and discover what suits you best. Rather than being tied to one setting straight away, you can gain experience across multiple schools, age groups and support needs — an ideal option for students or graduates who want to try new things and build confidence.

Working across different settings allows you to:
•	Gain broader hands-on experience with children and young people
•	Develop adaptable skills that transfer across education, SEN and care-based careers
•	Explore different pathways such as mainstream education, SEN, behaviour support or post-16 learning
•	Build a strong CV with varied, relevant experience
•	Choose roles that fit around your availability and future plans

There is a high level of flexibility, with opportunities ranging from short-term placements to longer-term roles, full-time, part-time or day-to-day sickness cover. This means you can balance work around studies, training or other commitments, while still gaining valuable, real-world experience in education.

Whether you’re looking to test the waters, gain insight before committing to a career path, or simply want varied and meaningful work, these school placements offer the opportunity to learn, grow and make a genuine impact.

This is a fantastic setting to learn on the job and gain experience that looks great on a CV or postgraduate application.

The Students You’ll Support:

All students we support have some level of SEN, these may be:
•	Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD)
•	Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD)
•	Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASD)
•	Sensory impairments (visual or hearing)
•	Epilepsy or other medical needs
•	Behaviours linked to communication or sensory differences

You’ll never be expected to handle this alone — teamwork and guidance are central to the school’s culture.

Why This Role Is Great for Students & Graduates:

This role offers real-world experience you simply can’t get from a lecture hall:
•	Hands-on SEN experience
•	Insight into educational and therapeutic settings
•	Develop skills in:
o	Communication (including non-verbal communication)
o	Behaviour support
o	Emotional intelligence and resilience
o	Working as part of a multidisciplinary team
•	Excellent preparation for:
o	Teacher training
o	Educational psychology
o	SEN careers
o	Healthcare and therapy routes

Most importantly — you’ll be doing something that genuinely matters.

Additional Information
•	Hours: 8:30am – 3:30pm (perfect around studies or postgraduate plans)
•	Roles: Full-time and part-time available
•	Pay: £13.69+ per hour (depending on experience)
•	Weekly pay every Friday
•	Initially temporary, with potential to become permanent
•	Free training through the National College

What You’ll Need
•	A Child Only or Child & Adult DBS (can be applied for through Axcis – £57.07)
•	Overseas police check if you’ve lived/worked abroad for 6+ months in the last 5 years
•	Valid Right to Work in the UK (passport, birth certificate, share code or visa)

Interested?
If you’re a student or graduate looking to gain meaningful experience, build confidence, and explore a future career in education or SEN — we’d love to hear from you.
