Do you have the compassion and resilience to support young people in rebuilding confidence and engaging with education?

The Role…

This is a rewarding opportunity within a small, specialist school in Todmorden that supports children who have experienced early life trauma. You will play a key role in the classroom, helping pupils access learning through a therapeutic and supportive approach to behaviour and education.

The school supports students from Key Stage 1 through to Key Stage 4, delivering a broad and engaging curriculum. A strong focus on pastoral care is essential, as you will help pupils re-engage with their education, develop emotional regulation, and build positive routines.

You'll Be…
* An experienced Teaching Assistant or Residential Support Worker, with a background supporting young people with SEMH, autism, ADHD, or additional needs
* Confident supporting children who may display challenging behaviour or have experienced trauma
* A strong communicator, able to build rapport and keep students engaged
* Passionate about promoting wellbeing, independence, and positive social development

We're… Academics!
* A well-established and highly regarded education recruitment agency
* Competitive rates of pay
* Ongoing support from a dedicated SEN Consultant
* Access to a wide range of schools, including exclusive opportunities
* A friendly, honest, and supportive service
* 'Refer a Friend' incentive scheme

Is this the right role for you? If so, or if you'd like to find out more, send your CV across or get in touch with our SEN Consultant Grace for a chat.

If this role isn't quite what you're looking for but you're interested in working within SEN settings across Kirklees or Calderdale, we have a range of opportunities available. Send your CV or contact Grace to explore your options
