SEN Teaching Assistant

Are you someone who thrives on being active, adaptable, and making a real impact on the lives of others?

Do you want a role where every day feels meaningful and no two days are ever the same?

If so, you might be the person we’re looking for!

We are looking for two compassionate, energetic, and flexible individuals to join our dedicated team of SEN Teaching Assistants. This role is perfect for individuals who want more than a job, they want purpose.

You’ll be supporting pupils with a range of Special Educational Needs in a specialist setting where education is bespoke, personalised, and built around each child’s unique journey.

08:30 – 15:30 | Monday to Friday | Term-Time Only

Full-time preferred for pupil continuity, but part-time can be discussed

\n
• Smaller class sizes than mainstream schools
\n
• Higher staff-to-pupil ratios for better support
\n
• A purposeful, nurturing environment
\n
• A team that champions collaboration and care
\n
• A chance to genuinely change lives every day
\n

Our pupils deserve consistency, so full-time is ideal, but we’re open to discussing part-time for the right person. We also need adaptable team members who can support across different classes when needed. Flexibility is key here, but you’ll never be without the support of your colleagues.

What you'll be doing:

\n
• Supporting pupils with their learning, emotional wellbeing, and development
\n
• Working collaboratively with teachers and other professionals
\n
• Adapting to different classes or needs as required
\n
• Helping maintain a positive, safe, and uplifting environment
\n
• Celebrating progress, big or small, with pupils who rely on your encouragement
\n

What we're looking for:

You don’t need to have SEN experience, just the right mindset and a genuine care to support young people.

If you are:

\n
• Patient
\n
• Energetic
\n
• Empathetic
\n
• Adaptable
\n
• Passionate about helping others thrive
\n

…then we can support you with the rest.

Here's Why You'll Love It:

This is not a linear, predictable job and that’s what makes it so rewarding.

You’ll go home knowing you’ve made a difference, supported a pupil to achieve something new, or helped a young person feel seen, understood, and valued.
