Join Our Team as an Educational Support Specialist

This position does not provide sponsorship.

Are you passionate about enhancing the educational experiences of students with diverse needs?

We are seeking dedicated Educational Support Specialists to become part of our exceptional team at Heath Farm School. In this role, you will collaborate with our educators to implement innovative teaching strategies tailored to meet the unique educational requirements of our students, thereby maximizing their potential and growth.

This is an excellent opportunity for an Educational Support Specialist who is eager to advance their career in the educational sector and is driven to foster learning in students with a range of complex needs. Your role will be both challenging and fulfilling, contributing to a nurturing environment where students feel valued, heard, and engaged in their learning journey.

Quality is at the forefront of our mission, and we take pride in the high standards of our work. We are looking for an Educational Support Specialist who can effectively work with individuals and small groups, prepare learning environments and resources, and cultivate positive relationships with students to encourage engagement and academic success. Our specialists provide crucial support to our educators and have the chance to assist in the creative planning and delivery of lessons in a supportive atmosphere.

While prior experience in a special educational needs (SEN) or autism spectrum condition (ASC) setting is advantageous, we value strong support skills, motivation, personal attributes, and resilience just as highly. These roles are particularly suitable for individuals transitioning from customer service roles in sectors such as retail, hospitality, and leisure, who are looking to make a meaningful impact on students' lives and futures.

We seek individuals who share our vision of empowering vulnerable young people in the UK to lead fulfilling lives and navigate their paths successfully.

Qualifications:

Applicants should possess a minimum of GCSE grade C or above in Mathematics and English. You should be calm, engaging, resilient, and enjoy teamwork, with a genuine desire to help every student achieve their full potential.

About Heath Farm School:

We are an independent special educational needs school that provides a unique and stimulating environment, enabling every student to make remarkable progress in their personal development and achieve success in their education.

Our students present a variety of needs, including social and emotional challenges, learning difficulties, mental health issues, and related conditions. Nevertheless, they are capable of experiencing extraordinary outcomes and finding joy in their educational journey. Each class maintains an excellent adult-to-student ratio of at least 2:1, typically comprising 6-8 students.

As an independent SEN school, we operate free from the bureaucratic constraints found in many traditional schools, allowing us to implement effective and tailored educational initiatives that prioritize the best interests of our students.

Heath Farm School is a leading independent provider of specialized education and care for vulnerable students and young people. We are at the forefront of our sector, pioneering new approaches that yield measurable outcomes for those we serve.

Why Choose Heath Farm School?

Your health and wellbeing are paramount to us, and we offer an exceptional rewards package, including:

  • Life Assurance
  • Pension scheme with options to enhance your contributions
  • "Your Wellbeing Matters" – access to a comprehensive range of mental health support services and physical health assessments

Additionally, our market-leading benefits platform, Vista, allows you to customize your package to suit your needs, including:
