Advantage Education are working with a specialist school in Poole to recruit an enthusiastic and caring Education Support Worker to join their team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with children and young people and wants to make a genuine difference to their day-to-day lives. You will be working as part of a supportive classroom team, helping students engage with learning, develop their independence and take part in a wide range of activities.
The Role
As an Education Support Worker, you will:
- Support students with their learning and development both in and outside the classroom
- Work closely with teachers and other members of the wider support team
- Help students develop communication, social and life skills
- Support students with personal care and medical needs where relevant
- Encourage students to become more independent and confident
- Provide individual support where required, adapting your approach to each student's needs
- Assist with practical, creative, physical and enrichment activities
- Build positive and trusting relationships with students
- Follow individual support plans and school procedures
- Promote a safe, inclusive and positive learning environment
The school supports children and young people with a range of additional needs, so the role would suit someone who is patient, resilient, compassionate and willing to learn.

- Teaching or classroom support
- Youth work
- Care or support work
- Health and social care
- Sports or activity-based roles
- Psychology or education
- Working with children or young people
Most importantly, you will need to be approachable, reliable and genuinely motivated to help young people make progress.
