Candidates with relevant experience will also be considered. The SEN School is in Maidenhead, and the role is full-time starting ASAP. The SEN children are aged 5 to 11 and require consistent, ongoing support to ensure they receive the highest quality of care and child-centred support. Experience in a similar role would be desirable but not essential.

This role is ideal for aspiring educational or occupational psychologists, therapeutic support workers, or SEN teachers.
The SEMH School is seeking a SEN Teaching Assistant who can bring enthusiasm, passion, and experience to the classroom. They want a proactive, adaptable SEN TA who can use their own initiative. Resilience and confidence to work with challenging behaviour are desirable traits.
