Job Description
Flexzo Teach | SEN Teaching Assistant
Flexible support opportunities in your area
Flexzo Teach connects dedicated SEN Teaching Assistants directly with educational settings for short-term, long-term, and ongoing support. Register to join our local talent pool in Sheffield and start matching with educational settings and students who need your specialized expertise whether that's providing nurturing 1:1 support in primary school or helping secondary students navigate their school day with confidence.
Why you’ll love it:
* Complete Autonomy: Pick your own hours and choose the assignments that best fit your schedule and skill set.
* Direct Access: Receive direct booking requests from local primary schools, secondary schools, and alternative provisions.
* Flexible Delivery: Work in a variety of educational settings across all key stages, adapting to the environments where you can make the biggest difference.
* Make an Impact: Provide tailored support, foster independence, and adapt your style - whether creating sensory-friendly tasks for younger children or building confidence and resilience in older students.
What you need:
* Experience working with children or young people with special educational needs (such as ASD, ADHD, SEMH, or speech and language difficulties) in an educational or care setting.
* The ability to implement targeted support strategies and use communication tools (e.g., visual timetables, PECS, or Makaton) to remove barriers to learning.
* Experience tailoring your approach to suit both primary-aged learners (fostering emotional regulation and foundational skills) and secondary students (focusing on independence and social confidence).
* A patient, calm, and nurturing demeanor, with a deep understanding of safeguarding and child protection practices.
* Valid right to work in the UK.
* An Enhanced DBS check on the Update Service (or a willingness to obtain one).
How it works:
Once your profile is live, educational settings can contact you directly to book 1:1 support, small-group intervention, or general SEN classroom assistance blocks.
