Are you passionate about making a difference in children’s lives?
Do you have experience working with children or come from a background in care, the emergency services, the military, or coaching? If so, your skills could be the perfect fit for a fulfilling new role!
Our partner schools in the Milton Keynes area are currently seeking enthusiastic and caring Teaching Assistants (TAs) to support children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Whether you’ve worked in a school before or not, if you’ve got the passion, empathy, and commitment to help children thrive, we’d love to hear from you.
What’s in it for you?
* Sociable, family-friendly hours: 8.30am–3.30pm
* Weekends off!
* Hands-on impact: Support children 1:1 or in small groups in a SEN school setting.
* Career progression: Temp-to-perm opportunities available for the right candidates.
Day-to-day you’ll be:
* Supporting students individually and in small groups.
* Assisting with classroom activities and implementing tailored education plans (IEPs).
* Helping to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment.
* Working closely with teachers and therapists to help children reach their potential.
* Being a positive role model and daily motivator for the children you support.
What we’re looking for:
* Experience with SEN children is a bonus – but not essential.
* Transferable experience from care work, the police, ambulance service, military, residential care, or sports coaching is highly valued.
* A genuine desire to work with children – this is a must!
* Proactive attitude and ability to use your initiative.
* A valid DBS on the update service (or willingness to apply for one).
What you’ll get from Teaching Personnel:
* Competitive pay rates
* 24/7 access to your own dedicated consultant
* Ongoing training and development opportunities
