Job Description
Learning Support Assistant - Specialist SEN College | Coventry (CV4) | Full-Time | From £90/day (PAYE)
Are you someone who believes in the potential of every young person-regardless of the challenges they face?
At Long Term Futures, we're excited to be working with a forward-thinking specialist college in Coventry that supports young adults aged 16-25 with complex additional needs, including Autism, physical disabilities, and profound learning difficulties. We're on the lookout for a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant who can bring energy, patience, and compassion to this rewarding role.
This is more than just a classroom position-it's an opportunity to support students in building independence, confidence, and real-world skills that will serve them well beyond college life.
What You'll Be Doing
* Supporting students on a one-to-one basis and in small groups, tailoring your approach to suit individual learning needs.
* Helping young people develop life skills both in and out of the classroom.
* Encouraging student independence through inclusive and accessible learning activities.
* Supporting emotional, social, and communication development in a nurturing environment.
* Working collaboratively with teachers, therapists, and wider support teams to create consistency and success for each learner.
Who You Are
* Passionate about working with young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN), especially in a post-16 environment.
* Experience is helpful but not essential - your attitude, resilience, and willingness to learn matter most.
* Patient, empathetic, and confident in promoting positive behaviour and engagement.
* Strong communicator who thrives as part of a close-knit, supportive team.
* A Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant qualification is great to have, but not required.
Why Join Long Term Futures?
* A dedicated consultant supporting you from start to finish.
* Access to a network of specialist SEN roles across the Midlands.
* Ongoing CPD and career development opportunities tailored to your goals.
* Competitive daily rates with PAYE pay - no hidden deductions.
* Streamlined onboarding to get you started quickly and confidently.
