We're proud to be working with a dedicated FE (Further Education) SEN College in Coventry that provides highly personalised education for learners aged 16-25 with complex physical, sensory, and learning needs.

Facilitating engagement in classroom and practical activities, using specialist resources and assistive technology where appropriate
Promoting independence, confidence, and social interaction in a safe, structured environment
Working closely with tutors, therapists, and support staff to deliver an integrated, holistic approach to learning

Experience supporting individuals with PMLD or complex SEN (school, college, or care setting)
A calm, patient, and empathetic approach to meeting a wide range of physical and learning needs
Willingness to support with personal care and physical assistance as part of daily routines
Excellent communication skills, including non-verbal communication methods
Relevant qualifications (e.g., Level 2/3 TA, Health & Social Care, or equivalent) are desirable but not essential if you have strong practical experience
