Support Worker/teaching Assistant

1 week ago

Shoreham by Sea, United Kingdom Coastal Case Management Ltd Full time

We are seeking a special educational needs co-ordinator or teaching assistant with experience of working with children with special educational needs. The role primarily is to provide excellent opportunities for learning in the home environment on two days of the school week and to provide support to our client on Saturdays for more activity-based experiences.

Our client is aged 8 years and has cerebral palsy. She is a happy, funny and bubbly little girl who loves role play, dressing up, and playing with her little figures. Our client uses a communication device, and some Makaton words and hand gestures to communicate her wants, needs, wishes and feelings... Our client has various play stations around the home and outdoor activity stations in the garden for use in the warmer months. Whilst our client will need to follow the school curriculum closely, how our client is engaged, motivated and assisted with education is important, and we seek someone who has experience of engaging children and ‘getting down to their level’ (quite literally). It will be important to use play and other creative ways to engage our client in her learning.

The support worker element is designed help promote our client’s independence and assist her with arts, crafts and leisure activities. You may also be required to assist with meal preparation, organising and attending medical appointments with parent/s. There will be the need for some personal care as our client is not yet fully toilet trained. The support worker role will take place on Saturdays 09:30 - 16:30 (there may some flexibility with hours on Saturdays) with the possibility of additional hours during the holiday periods. Training will be provided, along with regular supervision and line management.

The SENCO/TA type role is designed to support our client in all aspects of her home schooling. This will take place on Monday’s and Friday’s 8:30 - 15:30 to cover the school days. Our main priority for this role with our client is to ensure she has the best possible home-schooling opportunities to assist her educationally as she has great potential with the correct level of support and guidance.

Our client has some therapies in the home such as occupational, physio and speech and language therapy. The role will include joining some of these sessions and practicing some of the communication work for example in-between sessions. Experience of working with children with cerebral palsy is preferred.

Experience of working as a special educational needs coordinator and or experience of working as a special educational needs teaching assistant is required.

The applicant will be trained to complete electronic notes. Experience of working with Microsoft products is preferred.

The support worker will have use of a wheelchair accessible vehicle as needed. A full clean driving licence is therefore preferred.
