SEND Learning SUpport Assistant - Chelmsford

Date Posted: Thursday 11 June 2026

, Ref: 13189

Some roles are about supporting education.
Others are about helping a child feel seen, understood, and confident in their place in the world.

This opportunity offers the chance to do both.

We are partnering with a specialist SEND provision in Basildon that supports children and young people aged 3–19 with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and Profound & Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD). The environment has been thoughtfully created to ensure every pupil feels safe, engaged, and able to access learning in a way that works for them.

The team here are deeply committed to a child-centred approach. Every pupil’s journey is unique, and staff work collaboratively to ensure each individual is supported to reach their full potential—academically, socially, and emotionally.


What will your day look like?

  • Providing tailored 1:1 and small group support
  • Supporting communication and engagement through creative, personalised approaches
  • Working alongside teachers, therapists, and support staff to deliver holistic learning
  • Assisting with personal care where needed, maintaining dignity at all times
  • Helping to create a calm, structured, and positive learning environment


Who does this role suit?

  • Someone with a naturally caring and patient approach
  • An individual who values building strong, trusting relationships
  • Someone open to learning and developing within a SEND setting
  • A reliable team player who thrives in a collaborative environment


What can you expect in return?

  • Continuous training and development opportunities
  • A welcoming, supportive team culture
  • A strong focus on staff wellbeing
  • A chance to build a rewarding and long-term career in SEND
