Are you a caring and dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant who thrives when supporting individual pupils and small groups? This role provides a fantastic opportunity to help children reach their full academic, social, and emotional potential within a supportive primary school environment.

Role Overview

You'll work 1:1 and with small groups, providing targeted interventions to pupils with SEND including social, communication, and emotional learning needs across KS1-KS2. Your support will help pupils access the curriculum with confidence, encouragement, and personalised strategies.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver individual or small-group interventions in literacy, numeracy, or communication
  • Support pupils with additional needs including speech & language, autism, or emotional regulation
  • Use visual strategies like timetables, structured routines, and sensory tools
  • Encourage positive behaviour, resilience, and independence in learning
  • Work closely with class teachers and the SENCO to plan and adapt support
  • Record and monitor pupil progress through clear observations and feedback

What We're Looking For

  • Level 2/3 Teaching Assistant qualification or equivalent experience
  • Proven experience supporting children with SEND in primary settings
  • Confidence using visual supports and differentiation strategies
  • A patient, empathetic, and flexible approach to teaching
  • Strong communication and teamwork abilities
  • A desire to make a positive difference to children's learning and well-being

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Supportive, collaborative team environment
  • Pupils who are keen to learn and respond positively to encouragement
  • Long-term role with real potential for permanence
  • Access to free CPD in areas such as SEND strategies and behaviour management
  • Full support from a dedicated recruitment consultant throughout your journey
