Job Title: SEN Teaching Assistant – Primary
Location: Haywards Heath
Salary: £90 - £100 per day (Depending on experience)
Start Date: September 2025
Contract: Full-time, Long-term (Part-time roles also available)

Are you experienced in supporting children with SEND or keen to develop a career in a primary school setting?
GSL Education are seeking a SEN Teaching Assistant to join a school in Haywards Heath catering to primary-aged pupils with a range of additional needs, including Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), ADHD, and Speech and Language Difficulties (SLCN)..

About the Role:
This is a child-focused, practical support role where you’ll work closely with a small class group, helping children engage with a broad, structured curriculum. The school prioritises emotional regulation, communication development, and life skills — all underpinned by consistency, patience, and teamwork.
Experience with Makaton, PECS, visual schedules, sensory regulation strategies, or supporting non-verbal pupils will be a strong advantage — but if you're still growing these skills, you’re warmly encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities:

Provide 1:1 or small-group support to pupils with complex SEND needs

Help implement communication tools such as PECS or Makaton, where appropriate

Use visual timetables, structured routines, and sensory regulation tools

Encourage social interaction, independence, and learning through guided play

Collaborate with teachers and therapists to adapt learning activities

Provide personal care and mobility support where needed (training provided)

Requirements:

Experience in primary settings or SEN environments is highly desirable

Knowledge of SEND strategies or experience supporting children with ASC, ADHD, SEMH, or speech delays

Calm, caring, consistent personality with a child-centred approach

Understanding of safeguarding and willingness to undertake relevant training

Enhanced DBS registered to the update service (or willingness to apply)

What We Offer:

Daily pay of £90–£100

Specialist support from a dedicated education consultant

Opportunities to develop SEN specialism in a supportive team

Please be advised that this role requires a strong knowledge and understanding of safeguarding and child protection and that successful applicants must satisfy all background safer recruitment checks; including providing an enhanced DBS certificate registered on the update service, or completing an application for a new check.

As an ethical, inclusive and independent recruitment agency, GSL Education are committed to providing quality teaching and support staff in schools across the UK.

For more information about the position, please contact Georgia Haran at GSL Education.
