SEN Teaching Assistant – Build Confidence, Create Progress
Full-Time | Term-Time Only | Long-Term Opportunity
Some roles offer routine. This one offers responsibility, influence, and the chance to be part of something that genuinely works.
We are working with a specialist education setting to recruit a SEN Teaching Assistant to support pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including autism and communication needs. This is a setting where structure, consistency, and high expectations are balanced with understanding and care.
Pupils are supported to develop confidence, independence, and the skills they need for learning and life beyond the classroom. Staff work closely together, take time to understand individual needs, and adapt their approach so every child can make progress in a way that is right for them.
This is a role for someone who wants to be involved, relied upon, and trusted to make a daily impact.
