Are you currently studying at UWE or the University of Bristol? Are your studies in pyschology or childhood studies, or even within education? Rather than doing work that simply just helps with the bills, perhaps consider doing that and making your paid work more helpful to your career goals.
We are looking for such people to take on either full time or part time work supporting students in either mainstream or specialist schools on either a small group or 1:1 basis. Working hours are 8:30-3:30, between Monday to Friday and term time only.
You will need to have a keen interest in working with children and be studying something that is related to this work, so if you are doing something in IT for example, this is not work for you, unless you have previous experience supporting students. We are looking for people that are resourceful, resilient and have a warm disposition that children will open up to.
Students will have a range of diagnosis' such as autism, ADHD, social, emotional and mental health, down syndrome among others. Students will need support to strive in their learning but also need support in their social development to better engage with their peers and grow to be as independant as possible.
Requirements;
- Support students with additional needs on either a 1:1 basis or in small groups
- Follow the instructions laid out by the teacher and follow up with feedback and student progress
- Manage behaviours effectively and follow the school policies, offering a consistent and empathetic approach
- Reliable and able to honour commitments, these children are sensitive to change so its important that anyone supporting them is there consistently to offer structure and routine
- Be happy to take on professional development both online and in person courses
- Hold an enhanced DBS on the update service or be willing to apply for one
Zen can offer competitive pay rates, a unique platform to manage your work schedule, and the flexibility to take on work you are only happy to take on.
