Randstad Student Support
Not all learning happens inside a traditional classroom. For children in care who are currently outside of mainstream education, school can feel like a distant, overwhelming concept.
At Randstad, we believe these young people don't just need a teacher-they need a consistent, reliable anchor. We are looking for experienced SEND Support Professionals to work 1:1 with children who have complex Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, providing the stability and tailored support they need to re-engage and thrive.
What a Typical Day Looks Like:
-
Tailoring the Approach: Supporting children with a variety of needs (including ASD, ADHD, Speech & Language difficulties, and Global Development Delay) using creative, sensory, and practical methods.
-
Building a Safe Space: Establishing a stable, predictable, and nurturing daily routine that helps reduce anxiety and builds trust.
-
Breaking Down Barriers: Finding unique ways to make learning accessible, even when the student is having a tough day.
-
Team Collaboration: Working alongside multidisciplinary teams and social care professionals to make sure the child's holistic needs are being met.
What You'll Bring to the Team:
-
Real-World Experience: A proven track record of supporting children or young people with complex SEND.
-
The Right Tools: Qualifications like a Level 3 TA, Makaton, PECS, or Team Teach are a massive plus-but your actual experience and mindset are what matter most.
-
Deep Understanding: You know how to recognise triggers, de-escalate challenging moments, and see the communication behind the behaviour.
-
The Perfect Balance: Immense patience, a genuinely warm heart, and the strong professional boundaries needed to keep the environment safe and secure.
Why Join Randstad?
-
Competitive weekly pay to reward your hard work.
-
Free CPD training opportunities to help you add new skills to your toolkit.
-
An honest, supportive team that actually listens to your career goals and guides you every step of the way.
If you're ready to be the consistent support system a vulnerable child needs to unlock their potential, we want to hear from you.
