You’ll be working with children and young people with a range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including Autism (ASC), ADHD, Down syndrome and moderate learning difficulties.
Every pupil is different, and every achievement, no matter how small, deserves to be celebrated!
What will you be doing?
As a Level 3 SEND Teaching Assistant, your responsibilities will include:
- Providing one-to-one and small-group support to pupils with additional learning needs.
- Supporting teachers in delivering engaging, inclusive and accessible lessons.
- Helping pupils develop communication, social and independent living skills.
- Supporting children with sensory needs, emotional regulation and positive behaviour.
- Adapting learning activities to meet individual needs and abilities.
- Working closely with teachers, SENCOs and other professionals to support pupil progress.
- Assisting with personal care where required, always maintaining dignity and respect.
- Creating a safe, encouraging and positive learning environment where every child feels valued.
What are we looking for?
We’re keen to hear from candidates who have:
- A Level 3 qualification in Teaching Assistant, Supporting Teaching and Learning, or a relevant equivalent.
- Previous experience supporting children or young people with SEND.
- An understanding of additional needs, including ASC, ADHD and learning difficulties.
- A patient, compassionate and resilient approach.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills.
- The ability to build positive relationships with pupils and school staff.
- A genuine passion for helping children learn, grow and succeed.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who understands that making a difference isn’t always about big milestones. Sometimes, it’s the small achievements that matter most.
