We are currently working with a number of mainstream and specialist schools in Northampton who are seeking compassionate, resilient, and proactive SEN Teaching Assistants to join their teams from September 2025. This is a full-time position, ideal for candidates with experience supporting students with a range of additional needs, including autism (ASC), ADHD, speech and language difficulties, or social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) challenges.

What We're Looking For:
Experience working with children or young people with SEN in a school, nursery, or care setting
A patient, empathetic, and flexible approach to support diverse needs and behaviours
Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with students who may find learning challenging
Teamwork and a positive, proactive mindset
Relevant qualifications (e.g. Level 2/3 Teaching Assistant, CACHE, or equivalent) are beneficial but not essential
A willingness to learn and undertake additional training (e.g. Team Teach, PECS, Makaton)
What You'll Receive:
A full-time, meaningful role with long-term or permanent potential
Competitive pay and consistent working hours during term time
Access to accredited CPD, including SEN-specific training through The National College
