Are you currently working in residential care and thinking about a fresh, rewarding direction? Academics Educational Recruitment is working closely with schools and SEN provisions across Huddersfield who are keen to bring in skilled, caring individuals ready to make a difference in education.

• 🤝 Develop consistent, positive relationships with pupils
• 🌟 Help students with SEN overcome barriers and succeed
• ⏰ Benefit from more structured, predictable working hours

Who we're looking for:

• Background in residential care or similar support roles

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• A genuine commitment to helping young people thrive

What you can expect from us:

• Competitive rates of pay
• Access to training and professional development
