Sense Education

Disability Support Worker

Disability Support Worker

 

Do you believe every child deserves to feel safe, understood and celebrated for who they are? Are you patient, compassionate and motivated by making a real difference – every single day?

We’re working in close partnership with a large, specialist SEND school and we’re looking for a Disability Support Worker who genuinely cares about supporting pupils with additional needs to thrive.

About The Role

As a Disability Support Worker, you’ll play a vital role in supporting pupils with a range of special educational needs and disabilities, including Autism, learning difficulties, physical disabilities and complex needs.

You’ll be working alongside experienced teachers, key workers and support staff to help pupils feel confident, included and empowered – both in the classroom and beyond.

This is not just a job. It’s a chance to be a calm presence, a motivator and sometimes a child’s biggest cheerleader.

 

What You’ll be Doing:

  • Supporting learning, communication, emotional regulation and independence
  • Assisting with personal care or mobility support where required
  • Providing 1:1 or small group support tailored to individual needs
  • Helping pupils access lessons in a way that works for them
  • Building positive, trusting relationships with pupils and staff
  • Creating a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment

 

Who We’re Looking For:

You don’t have to have all the experience – just the correct values.

  • Someone who is kind, patient and emotionally resilient
  • A candidate truly passionate about supporting pupils with SEND
  • Someone comfortable working in a busy, supportive school environment
  • A good communicator who also works well as part of a team
  • Experienced in SEND, care or education (highly desirable)

 

Hours

Monday – Friday

8.30am – 3.30pm

Whether you’re experienced or just starting out, we will provide guidance and ongoing support every step of the way.
