Could You Be the Difference in a Child’s Day? SEN Support Staff Needed – Secondary Hub in Newham Start Date: September 2025 Hours: 8:30am – 4:00pm (Full-time & Part-time roles available) Contract: Whole academic year

We’re looking for caring, resilient, and proactive individuals to join our vibrant and growing SEN hub based in a secondary setting in Newham.

The hub caters for 30 pupils, each with unique needs. Many are non-verbal, all are amazing, and nearly every child receives 1:1 support to help them access learning in a way that works for them.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a highly supportive team committed to inclusion, emotional wellbeing, and high-quality education for young people with a wide range of additional needs.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Working closely with individual pupils, supporting their learning, communication, and independence

  • Helping to create a calm, engaging, and structured environment

  • Working collaboratively with teachers, therapists, and families

  • Supporting pupils with verbal and non-verbal communication strategies

  • Providing consistent and nurturing support throughout the school day

What We’re Looking For:

  • Some experience in an SEN setting is ideal, but a positive attitude and willingness to learn are just as important

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work flexibly as part of a team

  • A passion for helping children grow in confidence and succeed

  • Reliability, patience, and a sense of humour!

Why Join Us?

  • A welcoming, friendly school with a strong sense of purpose

  • Opportunities for training and personal development

  • Real impact – every single day

  • A role that’s different, meaningful, and incredibly rewarding

Whether you’re returning to education support, just starting your journey in SEN, or looking for a role that genuinely matters – we’d love to hear from you.

Make every day count. Apply now to join our team this September.
