Job Description
Are you a highly motivated and experienced SEN Teaching Assistant looking to make a genuine impact? Long Term Futures have partnered with a fantastic primary school in Bromley that is seeking a dedicated individual to work within their specialised Enhanced Learning Provision (ELP). The school is committed to fostering the growth and development of every pupil, particularly those with complex Special Educational Needs.
The Opportunity
This full-time position is based within a "Good"-rated primary school's ELP. You will provide crucial support to pupils with a wide range of needs, helping them to thrive academically, socially, and personally. The role is a long-term position with the potential for a permanent contract.
You will work closely with specialist teachers and therapists to deliver a dynamic and accessible curriculum designed to help every pupil reach their full potential.
Your Contribution
As an SEN Teaching Assistant in the ELP, your key responsibilities will include:
* Providing bespoke support aligned with pupils' complex SEN, including severe autism, profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), and significant communication challenges.
* Assisting with personalised learning activities, adapting resources, and supporting the development of independence and life skills.
* Implementing effective communication strategies, such as Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) or Makaton.
* Working proactively with ELP staff and external professionals.
* Implementing positive behaviour support plans for pupils with complex needs, creating a calm and supportive learning environment.
What We're Looking For
To be successful, you must have proven experience supporting primary-aged children with complex SEN, ideally within a similar ELP or specialist educational setting. You should have a strong understanding of various SEN diagnoses and an adaptable, patient, and resilient approach. Excellent interpersonal skills are also essential for working with pupils, staff, and parents.
