Ready for a Change?
From Care & Support Work to Supporting Children with Learning Difficulties
Are you currently working in care or support work and feeling exhausted, undervalued, or stuck in a cycle of long shifts and constant pressure?
Do you still care deeply about helping people — but want a role that feels more rewarding, structured, and hopeful?
We’re looking for caring, patient, and resilient people from the care industry to join our SEN School in Southend as a Learning Support Assistant.
Why This Role Might Be Exactly What You’re Looking For
If you’ve worked in care, you already have the skills that matter most:
The difference?
Here, you’ll be supporting children with learning difficulties in a school environment — helping them grow, communicate, and achieve things they once found impossible.
You’ll see progress.
You’ll build real relationships.
And you’ll go home knowing you made a difference that day.
What You’ll Be Doing
What Makes This Different from Care Work
