Are you someone who thrives on new challenges and enjoys helping every child reach their potential? Zest Education is seeking an enthusiastic and adaptable SEN Classroom Support Worker to work on a supply basis at a mainstream primary school in Coleshill. This flexible role is perfect for those who want to gain experience, work around other commitments and support pupils with additional needs in a truly rewarding way.

Responsibilities:

• Provide in-class support to pupils with SEND needs, both 1:1 and in small groups.
• Promote pupil independence, confidence and promote positive behaviour.
• Adapt learning activities and resources to ensure accessibility for all.

• Experience working with children or vulnerable adults
• A DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one through Zest Education).
