We are seeking a compassionate, reliable, and enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistant to join a specialist school in Dibden that supports pupils aged 7-16. This school caters to young people with a range of complex social, emotional, and mental health needs, often arising from:
* Childhood trauma
* Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC)

* Helping to maintain a calm, consistent classroom environment

This is a highly rewarding position that requires patience, empathy, and resilience. You will be a consistent, encouraging presence in the lives of students who may have experienced significant disruptions to their education.

* A calm, supportive and proactive attitude
* A genuine passion for working with young people with additional needs
* Ability to work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team
