Are you a caring, patient and committed individual with a passion for supporting children with special educational needs?
GSL Education is currently recruiting for a 1:1 SEN Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming and supportive primary school in Chelmsford from September 2025. This is a long-term, full-time position supporting a child in the classroom who requires additional support with learning, communication, and emotional development.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is nurturing, reliable, and eager to make a meaningful difference in a young learner’s school experience.
What the Role Involves:
* Providing 1:1 support to a child with SEN (e.g. autism, speech and language needs, or social/emotional challenges)
* Supporting learning both in and outside of the classroom
* Working closely with the class teacher and SENCO to follow tailored learning plans
* Encouraging social interaction and emotional regulation
* Promoting independence while offering consistent guidance and reassurance
✅ What We’re Looking For:
* Experience working with children with SEN (in school, care or similar settings)
* A calm, compassionate and flexible approach
* Strong communication skills and a team-player mindset
* A valid, enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply)
* A genuine passion for supporting the development of all children
Whether you're an experienced Teaching Assistant or someone with SEN experience looking to transition into education, this could be the perfect long-term opportunity to build your career while changing lives.
