SEN Teaching Assistant

A primary school in the BL3 area is currently looking to recruit a professional and committed individual for the role of SEN Support Teaching Assistant to help create a supportive learning environment and engaging educational experiences for children across Year 1.

Many of their pupils possess unique gifts and interests that the school strive to nurture. This role would be 8.30am-3.30pm, Monday-Friday, term-time only until the end of the academic year (July 2025). Relevant education-based qualifications (level 2/3 education-based qualification) are preferred but not essential.

Within this role, you will be expected to build strong relationships with pupils with a range of special educational needs and disabilities; to encourage positive choices and behaviour to work together with other SEN Support Teaching Assistants and class teachers and to get involved in foundation subjects (maths, English and phonics) to support those pupils with additional needs.

If you are passionate about making a difference, whether you have experience with supporting individuals with SEN in an alternative environment, you are a recent graduate looking for experience in a specialist role, an individual with prior experience in support/care work, or have supported children with additional needs before then this may be the perfect role for you!
