Role: SEND Teaching Assistant
Location: Stanley, County Durham
Contract: Full-time, long-term
Start: As soon as possible
Pay: £105 – £112 a day
Setting: Specialist SEND schools
Schools Mutual Services is looking for SEND Teaching Assistants to join specialist school settings in Stanley.
You’ll be supporting pupils with a range of additional needs, including:
- Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
- ADHD
- Down syndrome
- Moderate learning difficulties
- Communication and sensory needs
- Social, emotional and behavioural needs
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Patient, caring and understanding
- Confident supporting pupils 1:1 and in small groups
- Experienced in working with children or young people with SEND
- Comfortable supporting personal care where required
- Able to stay calm and positive during challenging situations
- Passionate about helping pupils build their confidence and independence
Every child is different, so you’ll need to be able to adapt your approach to the individual pupil. Sometimes your support might mean helping them engage with a lesson; other times, it could simply be providing reassurance and helping them regulate their emotions.
If you’re looking for a rewarding SEND role where you can make a genuine difference, we’d love to hear from you.
