Autism Support Worker – L8, Dingle, Liverpool

Chalk Education is delighted to be working in partnership with a welcoming and supportive special school based in the L8 Dingle area of Liverpool, which provides high-quality, inclusive education for children and young people with a range of additional needs.

The school is committed to helping every pupil reach their full potential, focusing not only on academic development but also on communication, social skills, emotional wellbeing and essential life skills. We are looking for a passionate, patient and dedicated Autism Support Worker to join their team and make a real difference to the lives of their pupils.

As an Autism Support Worker, you will play an important role in supporting pupils with Autism and/or Learning Disabilities to access learning, build confidence and develop independence. Working closely with teachers and specialist staff, you will provide tailored one-to-one and small group support within the classroom.

You will help pupils manage emotions, develop communication skills, encourage positive social interactions and engage with learning activities in a structured, nurturing environment. You will need to be adaptable, understanding and confident in providing support that meets individual needs.

To be considered for this Autism Support Worker role, candidates should have experience (either professional or personal) supporting children or young people with Autism and/or Learning Disabilities. Strong behaviour management skills, excellent communication and a positive, proactive approach are essential.

An enhanced DBS certificate registered on the Update Service is desirable; however, support can be provided to obtain one if required. A strong commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is essential, alongside eligibility to work in the UK.
