Part-Time SEN Teaching Assistant (Mornings Only)
Support where it matters most
Summary
Looking for a role that lets you make a real impact and still be home by lunchtime? This September, a welcoming and inclusive mainstream primary school is offering a rewarding part-time opportunity for a compassionate SEN Teaching Assistant. Working mornings only, you'll provide consistent, targeted support to pupils who need a little extra help to engage, learn and thrive. This is a long-term temporary role with the potential to become permanent and is ideal for someone looking to make a meaningful difference each day.
The Role
You'll be supporting pupils in Key Stage 2 with a range of additional needs, including learning difficulties and social, emotional or mental health challenges. Your role will involve:
* Helping pupils access learning in core subjects through structured, one-to-one or small group support
* Providing calm and consistent emotional reassurance to build focus and engagement
* Supporting social interaction and emotional regulation, both in and out of the classroom
The school is looking for someone who can build trust, offer steady encouragement and work closely with class teachers to adapt learning to individual needs.
What We're Looking For
This opportunity is ideal for someone who:
* Holds a recognised Teaching Assistant qualification
* Has experience supporting children with SEN and/or SEMH needs
* Brings a patient, calm and nurturing approach to classroom life
* Is confident working independently or as part of a team
Experience from care, support work or health and social care is highly valued and transferable to this role.
The School
This inclusive mainstream primary is proud of its caring ethos and team approach. Staff work closely together to ensure every child feels safe, understood and able to reach their potential. There is a strong culture of respect, collaboration and support throughout the school community.
Working Hours
This is a part-time, morning-only role, Monday to Friday. The role begins in September for the first half of the autumn term, with a strong likelihood of extension for the full term and the potential to become permanent.
Why Apply?
* Competitive pay
* Part-time hours that fit around your day
* A supportive, values-driven school environment
* Make a meaningful impact every morning
* Great opportunity for career changers or those returning to work
* Long-term temporary role with potential for permanency
Be the reason a child starts each day feeling supported and ready to learn.
