In this article, we will explore why a career in SEND is not just a job but a transformative and impactful journey that aligns with your values and aspirations.
1. A Collaborative Community
Working in a SEND teaching role at Targeted Provision means becoming a part of a closely-knit team dedicated to supporting young people with diverse educational needs. It's a community where every member plays a crucial role in helping young people achieve their full potential. Whether you are a SEND tutor or a SEND Support Specialist, you work together for a common purpose: supporting the academic, social and emotional development of young people. This sense of teamwork fosters a supportive environment where you can thrive and grow.
2. A Empathetic Approach
SEND professionals at Targeted Provision understand the importance of empathy and individualised attention. Every young person has unique needs, and your role is to cater to those needs with care and understanding. The personal connections you build with your young person go beyond academics; you become a source of emotional support and guidance, creating a safe and nurturing space for them to flourish.
3. A Professional Commitment
A career in SEND is not just a job; it's a calling that comes with a strong sense of duty. You are entrusted with the task of enhancing the educational experience of young people with diverse abilities. Upholding professionalism is paramount in this field, ensuring that every student receives the quality education they deserve. In this profession, continuous learning and growth are not just encouraged; they are essential. Research into child development and special educational needs and disabilities is constantly evolving, offering us a deeper insight into how children with diverse needs learn and thrive.
4. The Passionate Drive
Passion is at the heart of every successful SEND professional. You have the opportunity to empower young people to re-engage with learning and take ownership of their educational journey through personalised support. Witnessing the progress and accomplishments of a young individual is exceptionally fulfilling, particularly when you are aware of the challenges they've faced on their educational path. This awareness fuels your unwavering commitment to ensuring their long-term success. Your enthusiasm becomes a driving force for positive change.
5. The Supportive Ecosystem
SEND professionals never walk their journey alone at Targeted Provision. You are offered guidance and mentorship at every step. Whether it's through regular check-ins with your dedicated SEND Specialist, engaging in conversations with our Safeguarding team, or participating in our free training sessions, support and resources are readily available to you. Targeted Provision invests in your development, recognising that your growth directly impacts the young people you support. This support network ensures that you are equipped with the tools and knowledge to excel in your role.
6. The Personalised Teaching Approach
One of the most gratifying aspects of a career in SEND is the capacity to customise education to meet individual needs. We recognise that providing such personalised support, which professionals aspire to offer, is often not feasible in many mainstream settings. We celebrate each young person’s unique journey and watch them overcome challenges and reach their full potential. This personalised approach makes a tangible difference in the lives of your young person, leaving a lasting impact.
7. The Visionary Impact
Working in SEND offers you the chance to make a meaningful lasting difference in the lives of young people and those around them. Many young people with SEND have had turbulent and frustrating experiences with education, causing disruption and stress that permeates the whole family. Your work creates a ripple effect of positive change, bringing new hope to young people, their families and communities.
In conclusion, a career in SEND offers you the chance to transform lives, shape futures, and leave a lasting impact on the world. It's a path that aligns with your values, provides a sense of purpose, and empowers you to make a meaningful difference.
