SEN Educator | September Start

Do you have experience supporting children with Special Educational Needs and a genuine passion for helping every child reach their full potential?

Protocol Education is working closely with a welcoming and inclusive primary school in BS3, Bristol, seeking dedicated and compassionate SEN Educators to join their team. With trial days taking place at the end of October and a November start available, this is an excellent opportunity to secure a rewarding role before the busy winter term.

Whether your experience comes from SEN schools, mainstream education, care settings, residential support or youth work, we'd love to hear from you.

You'll work alongside teachers, SENCOs and pastoral staff, providing tailored support that helps pupils build confidence, independence and a positive relationship with learning.

For many children, the right support can be life-changing, and you'll play a key role in making that happen every day.

October Trials Taking Place Now

The school is actively arranging:

✅ Trial days

✅ Classroom observations

✅ Meet-and-greet visits

✅ Informal school tours

Successful candidates will be available to start in November 2026.

The Role

As an SEN Educator, you will:

• Provide tailored 1:1 and small group support
• Support pupils with ASD, ADHD, SEMH, speech and language needs, and additional learning needs
• Help pupils access learning in a way that works best for them
• Encourage emotional regulation, communication and independence
• Build positive relationships with pupils, staff and families
• Implement individual support strategies and EHCP targets
• Promote inclusion, engagement and positive learning outcomes throughout the school day

✅ What We're Looking For

• Previous experience supporting children with SEN
• Understanding of a range of additional needs and inclusive support strategies
• Confidence working one-to-one and with small groups
• A patient, calm and nurturing approach
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Resilience, adaptability and a positive attitude
• A genuine passion for helping children overcome barriers to learning

Why Work With Protocol Education?

• Flexible working opportunities
• Competitive pay of £14.30 - £15.25 per hour
• Weekly PAYE pay with no umbrella deductions
• Long-term opportunity within a supportive BS3 primary school
• Dedicated consultant support throughout your placement
• Free access to CPD Academy, including SEND and behaviour training
• Ongoing professional development opportunities
• User-friendly online systems and support
• £250 Refer-a-Friend Bonus

⭐ Why This Role Matters

Success in SEN isn't always measured through academic results.

Sometimes it's helping a child communicate their needs for the first time, build a friendship, manage a difficult transition or gain the confidence to participate in class independently.

If you're passionate about making a lasting difference and building meaningful relationships with young people, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

✔️ What We Need to Clear You

To complete your registration, we'll need:

• A valid passport or proof of right to work in the UK
• Two proofs of current address
• An up-to-date CV covering the last 10 years of employment and/or education history, with any gaps explained
• References covering the last 2 years
• An overseas police check if you've lived abroad for 3 months or more in the last 5 years
• An Enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one)

Our team will support you throughout the compliance process.
