Primary SEN Champion

Are you passionate about inspiring young learners and making a difference in the classroom?

Protocol Education is working with welcoming primary schools across Midsomer Norton that are looking for enthusiastic, adaptable and engaging Primary Educators to support pupils from September.

You don't need Qualified Teacher Status to make a positive impact. Whether your experience comes from schools, childcare, sports coaching, youth work, mentoring or other child-centred environments, schools are keen to hear from individuals who can confidently support learning, build positive relationships and bring energy to the classroom.

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone considering a long-term career in education or looking for flexible work that is both rewarding and varied. You'll have the chance to work in supportive school environments where every member of staff plays an important role in helping children thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

Experience supporting children with SEN or SEMH needs is welcomed, but not essential. The most important qualities are enthusiasm, patience and a genuine desire to help children succeed.

What You'll Be Doing

Supporting pupils across EYFS, KS1 and KS2 Delivering pre-planned lessons and activities when required Working alongside class teachers to support learning and engagement Supporting small groups and individual pupils Encouraging positive behaviour and classroom participation Helping children build confidence, resilience and independence Creating a fun, safe and positive learning environment

Why This Role?

Every day is different. One day you might be supporting a child one-to-one to build their confidence, and the next you could be leading a small group activity or helping a class teacher deliver an exciting lesson.
