BANK TA – SEN Schools | Thornbury & South Gloucestershire
Flexible Bank Work | Immediate & Ongoing Shifts
As a BANK TA, you’ll be stepping into different SEN settings as needed, sometimes short notice, sometimes pre-booked. You might be supporting a pupil 1:1, helping in a small group, or working alongside class staff. No two days are the same, and that’s exactly why many of our BANK TAs love the role.
The schools you’ll work in support children and young people with autism, learning difficulties, communication needs, sensory differences and behaviours linked to complex needs. A good BANK TA brings patience, curiosity and a calm presence into the classroom. Having access to a car is a big plus, as you’ll be travelling between schools.

Is calm, flexible and happy adapting to new environments
Has the resilience needed to work as a BANK TA in SEN settings
Is interested in learning more about communication, sensory regulation and emotional support
Can build trust quickly, a key skill for any BANK TA
Works well with teachers, therapists and support staff
Stays positive during challenging moments
Can adapt learning and offer personalised support as a BANK TA
Understands safeguarding and professional boundaries
Enjoys the freedom and variety that comes with being a BANK TA
