Green Light Trust are seeking a SEND Learning Support Facilitator to join the team.

Working alongside tutors and facilitators, you will help post-16 learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) engage in education, build confidence and independence, and develop the skills they need for adult life. Our learning takes place in outdoor, nature-based settings, so a willingness to work outdoors in all seasons is essential.

You will help individuals overcome barriers, build confidence, develop independence and achieve their personal goals.

We are looking for someone with a warm, approachable demeanour that makes participants and partners feel at ease; as well as having the ability to handle challenging conversations with patience and professionalism, whilst maintaining clear boundaries.

You will be able to build meaningful relationships with participants, colleagues, families/carers and external partners. 

It is important that you are comfortable working outdoors throughout the year in varying weather conditions; and can remain calm and professional when supporting individuals who may experience challenges or distress.

This role requires confidence using IT systems (like our CRM system, Beacon) to maintain accurate records, supporting Facilitators to monitor and report progress. 

Therefore, experience managing multiple tasks through the working day, keeping track of essential participant details and helping to record key achievements is essential.

You will need:

• experience supporting young people with SEND in education, care, youth work or a similar setting
• excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• an understanding of inclusive and person-centric approaches, and the ability to build positive relationships with participants and colleagues alike
• to be passionate about helping people reach their potential through fostering resilience and independence
• to be adaptable, flexible and able to remain calm and professional when supporting individuals who may experience challenge and distress.
