SEN Teaching Assistant
Mildenhall
£90 - £95
Are you someone who looks beyond a diagnosis to see a student's potential?
We are seeking a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join a vibrant SEN School in Mildenhall. This role is perfect for a calm, proactive individual who thrives in an environment where no two days are the same and where small victories are celebrated as major milestones.
Your Impact on the Day-to-Day:
* The Bridge to Learning: You will act as the vital link between the curriculum and the student, adapting tasks in real-time to suit sensory needs and concentration levels.
* Emotional Coaching: Use positive reinforcement and de-escalation techniques to help students manage their anxiety and regulate their emotions.
* Life Skills Mentor: Support students in developing functional independence-from social communication in the playground to mastering daily life tasks.
* Collaborative Support: Work as part of a multidisciplinary team, including Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists, to deliver integrated care.
* Environmental Management: Ensure the classroom remains a safe, structured, and "low-arousal" space where learners can focus and flourish.
What Makes You the Right Fit?
* Patience as a Superpower: You understand that progress isn't always linear and can remain a steady presence during a student's difficult moments.
* Adaptive Thinking: You can quickly pivot your approach if a particular activity isn't resonating with a child.
* Experience or Passion: Whether you've worked in a similar SEN setting or have a background in care, psychology, or youth work, your attitude is what matters most.
* Clear Communication: Ability to use visual aids and simplified language to ensure instructions are clear and stress-free.
* Vetting: You must hold an enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service or be willing to undergo a new check.
Why Join Randstad?
* Weekly Pay: Reliable PAYE earnings of £90 - £95 per day.
* Consistency: The security of a long-term, full-time placement in a local school.
* Free Training: Access to our extensive "Learning Universe" for courses on Makaton, Team Teach awareness, and Autism Support.
* Referral Scheme: A £300 bonus for every successful referral you send our way.
