Are you ready to start or grow your career supporting children with additional needs? A friendly primary school in Chelmsford is looking for enthusiastic entry-level Learning Support Assistants, Teaching Assistants, Care Assistants, or SEND Support Workers to join their SEN provision team.

• Assist with classroom activities, ensuring children can engage with learning.

• Encourage independence, confidence, and positive behaviour.

• Collaborate with teachers, SENCo, and other staff to implement individual support plans.

• Help maintain a structured, safe, and inclusive environment.

• Experience in a care, youth work, healthcare, or similar role.

• A patient, friendly, and adaptable approach.

• Good communication and teamwork skills.

• A genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs.

• Motivation to learn and develop within an educational setting.
