Job Description

About the role: SEN TA: As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you’ll play an essential role in supporting students with a range of special educational needs, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and those who are non-verbal. Experience working with non-verbal children is a plus, but not a requirement, as you’ll receive training and support to help every child find their voice and confidence in the classroom.

Working closely with our skilled SEN team, your day-to-day will include assisting with individualized learning plans, using creative methods to help students reach their full potential, and providing both academic and emotional support. This is a hands-on role, ideal for someone who’s as enthusiastic about learning as our students are!"

With spacious classrooms, interactive outdoor learning spaces, and excellent resources, we pride ourselves on fostering an environment where students can thrive. Our team is collaborative, caring, and always ready to share ideas and strategies to make learning accessible and engaging for all.

Application Requirements:

• Experience in SEN or a genuine passion for helping children with additional needs.

• Ability to engage with young children empathetically and patiently.

• A collaborative attitude, ready to work alongside teachers and specialists.

• A proactive approach, willing to adapt and learn.

Key Responsibilities:

• Supporting students with ADHD, ASD, and other SEN needs on a one-to-one and group basis.

• Assisting non-verbal students with communication, utilising innovative tools and resources.

• Helping to develop and implement personalized learning plans in collaboration with teachers.

• Encouraging positive social interactions and assisting in managing any challenging behaviours.

• Celebrating every small victory, fostering confidence, and promoting independence.

Perks and Benefits:

• Competitive daily rates: £85-£100.

• Ongoing training and professional development tailored to SEN.
