Join Duke of Lancaster School and play a vital role in supporting children and young people with communication and interaction needs to thrive both academically and personally.

Working closely with teachers and the wider school team, you’ll support learning in the classroom, help students develop confidence, independence and social skills, and contribute to a safe, positive and inclusive environment. You’ll provide tailored support to meet individual needs, monitor progress, assist with learning activities, and help students navigate both structured lessons and less structured parts of the school day.

We’re looking for caring, patient and proactive individuals with experience of working with children or young people, ideally within a SEND setting. Strong communication skills, a commitment to inclusive education, and a genuine passion for helping students succeed are essential.

This opportunity is offered as an initial 3-month fixed-term contract, with the potential for permanent positions for candidates who demonstrate a strong impact and commitment.

If you’re ready to make a meaningful difference every day, we’d love to hear from you.
