Aspira Education is recruiting Transition Workers to join a brand-new SEN Hub. This is an exciting opportunity to support young people aged 11–16 with SEMH, ADHD and other complex behavioural needs as they begin their journey back towards mainstream education.
The new hub has been created to provide intensive support for pupils who require additional intervention before successfully transitioning back into mainstream school. You'll be joining a brand-new team, working alongside experienced HLTAs, teachers and specialist staff to help make a genuine difference in the lives of vulnerable young people.
The Role
As a Transition Worker, you will support students who present with SEMH needs, ADHD and highly dysregulated behaviours. During your first month, you will receive extensive support and mentoring from experienced members of staff while getting to know the pupils, routines and approaches used within the provision.
From October onwards, you will begin working more independently, building positive relationships with students and supporting them both within the SEN Hub and throughout their transition back into mainstream education.
This is a rewarding role for someone who is calm, resilient and passionate about helping young people overcome barriers to learning.
