Special Educational Needs (SEN) Teaching Assistant
Contract Type: Term-time only
Hours: 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM daily (8.30 AM start one morning per week for staff meetings)
The Opportunity
Are you looking for a role where you can make a tangible difference every single day? We are seeking a dedicated and resilient SEN Teaching Assistant to join our vibrant school community.
We support pupils aged 2-11 who have a range of severe learning difficulties (SLD), as well as complex medical and care needs. This is a role that requires heart, patience, and a "can-do" attitude. While the environment is busy and the work is challenging, the rewards of seeing our pupils achieve their individual milestones are unmatched.
What You'll Bring
We are looking for individuals who are compassionate, adaptable, and ready to dive into a specialised educational setting.
* Experience: Ideally, you have worked with children with special needs, particularly those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
* Transferable Skills: We strongly encourage applications from those with a background in medical or health care. Your experience with complex care needs is highly applicable to our pupils' requirements.
* Mindset: You should be a team player with a calm demeanour and a genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs.
Why Join Our Team?
We don't expect you to be an expert from day one. We are committed to the growth of our staff and provide:
* Comprehensive Induction: A thorough onboarding process to ensure you feel confident.
* Ongoing Training: Access to a continuous professional development programme tailored to SEN and medical care.
* Balanced Schedule: Consistent term-time hours that offer a great work-life balance.
