Do you want a career where no two days are the same? Are you committed to supporting children and young people with additional needs? Would you like to be part of a team that helps students reach their full potential?

Chalk Education is delighted to be partnering with a fantastic specialist school in Reading, Berkshire, to recruit a caring, enthusiastic, and dedicated Complex Needs Support Worker to support students within a classroom environment.

This exceptional school provides a nurturing and inclusive environment for students aged 3-19 and benefits from outstanding facilities, including sensory rooms, therapy spaces, and extensive outdoor learning areas. The school supports pupils with a wide range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including Autism, PMLD, Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN), complex medical needs, and additional behavioural needs. Every student receives personalised support through a tailored EHCP, ensuring they can reach their full potential.

This is a rewarding classroom-based position where no two days are the same. You'll provide 1:1 support to students with complex needs throughout the school day, helping them access learning, engage in lessons, and develop key life skills. Working closely with teachers, therapists, and support staff, you'll promote independence, wellbeing, and positive outcomes while helping to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment where every student can thrive. This role is also ideal for aspiring Clinical Psychologists, Therapists, SEND Teachers, or anyone looking to build valuable experience supporting children with additional needs in a specialist educational setting.
