We are looking for a caring, flexible, and motivated SEN Teaching Assistant to join us and make a real difference to children’s lives.
About the Role

Why Join Us?
At Malmesbury, inclusion is at the heart of what we do. Our SEND provision is built on teamwork – no one works in isolation. Ofsted recently praised our approach:
“The school is aspirational for pupils with SEND. Staff have the expertise they need to ensure these pupils benefit from adaptations across subjects. This helps pupils with SEND to progress successfully alongside their peers.”

1. Is confident working 1:1, in small groups, and within a whole-class setting.
2. Can work closely with teachers, the SENDCo, and colleagues to support learning and behaviour.
3. Brings warmth, patience, and resilience to the role.
4. Builds strong, positive relationships with children and parents.
5. Promotes self-esteem, inclusion, and emotional development.
In Return, We Offer:
6. Wonderful children who enjoy learning.
7. A welcoming, supportive staff team who value humour and teamwork.
8. An engaged school community, including parents and governors.
