• Support pupils with reintegration into school, college, or alternative provisions.

• Build positive relationships with families, schools, and professionals.

• Maintain accurate records and feedback to the wider team.

• Experience supporting children or young people with SEND (education, care, or community settings).

• Confident working independently and managing your own schedule.

• A calm, patient, and compassionate approach.

• Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (essential for travel across Chelmsford, Colchester, and surrounding areas).

• Flexible and adaptable — every day is different.

• Competitive pay, with mileage expenses covered.

• Full training and ongoing support.

• The opportunity to genuinely change lives and help young people thrive.

This role would suit candidates with experience in:

• SEND Learning Support

• Outreach Support Work

• Youth Work or Mentoring

• Social Care or Community Support

• SEMH, Autism, or Complex Needs Support

If you are ready to make a real impact in your community, we would love to hear from you.
