SEN Support Worker (Sessional - Children & Young People)


Chester - CH2
School-based settings
Short, scheduled sessions (term-time)

Brook Street Social Care are recruiting SEN support workers to assist our client's organisation committed to empowering individuals and improving emotional, mental, and physical well-being through inclusive programmes and tailored support. We create positive, inspirational experiences that help children and young people build confidence, independence, and resilience.


A key part of our work is delivering inclusive, short-form support sessions for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), both in schools and the wider community.

About the Role


We are seeking a compassionate and enthusiastic SEN Support Worker to deliver short, structured support sessions for children and young people with SEND within a school setting. Sessions are designed to support emotional regulation, confidence, engagement, and social development, and may include creative, movement-based, or wellbeing-focused activities.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys focused 1:1 or small-group work and understands the impact that consistent, high-quality sessions can have on a child's wellbeing and learning.

Key Responsibilities


  • Deliver short 1:1 or small-group support sessions to pupils with SEND

  • Support emotional wellbeing, confidence, and positive engagement

  • Use inclusive, creative, or activity-based approaches aligned with our programmes

  • Work collaboratively with school staff and our team

  • Follow session plans and contribute to simple progress feedback

  • Maintain a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment

About You


  • Experience working with children or young people with SEND (school, care, youth, or community settings)

  • Calm, patient, and confident delivering focused support sessions

  • Passionate about wellbeing, empowerment, and inclusion

  • Reliable, adaptable, and able to build positive relationships quickly

  • Qualifications in SEN, education, health, or social care are desirable but not essential

What We Offer


  • Flexible, sessional work that fits around other commitments

  • Training and guidance in Brook Street approaches and programmes

  • A supportive, values-led organisation focused on wellbeing and empowerment

  • A rewarding role making a real difference in a short space of time
