About this Role

“RISE are Revolutionising SEND Education for aspirational learning, personal empowerment and confidence to shatter glass ceilings, reaching new levels of achievement with young people aged 14-25 years old. RISE prioritises understanding the whole person and uses this to inform the curriculum, programmes of support and to build a solid platform for future pathways."

We are seeking a kind, empathetic, creative and energetic individual to support and deliver an innovative curriculum that is adapted and modified to not only meet the needs, outcomes, and aspirations of our young people, but also to nurture their character, confidence, well-being, and independence. We value team players who can inspire others, strengthen work-based and social connections, and promote productivity, happiness, balance, and opportunity.

This position is a 1:1 Teaching Assistant and Student Coach role, working closely with one young person with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The role combines educational support, personal care, and Personal Assistant (PA) responsibilities to help the young person access learning, daily activities, and community opportunities safely, confidently, and with dignity.

Key Purpose of the Role

• Provide individualised 1:1 educational, emotional and practical support in line with the young person’s EHCP.
• Act as a Personal Assistant for the young person, supporting daily routines, transitions, and participation in education and community activities.
• Deliver personal and therapeutic care in line with agreed care plans.
• Promote independence, confidence, wellbeing, and preparation for adulthood.

We reserve the right to appoint before the application deadline, so early applications are encouraged.

RISE is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS disclosure is required for this post.
