Salary: £90 - £95 per day
Contract: Long-term Contract, Term-Time Only
Are you a champion for inclusive education?
We are seeking a compassionate, skilled, and resilient individual dedicated to advocating for students with complex learning and emotional needs. Join our supportive team as an SEN Teaching Assistant and play a pivotal role in our Inclusion department.
This is a unique opportunity to work across a broad age range of 4-18, providing tailored support to students from Early Years through to Post-16. You will ensure they not only achieve their educational potential but also gain the confidence to transition successfully through every stage of their schooling and into adulthood.
The Role: Specialist Student Support
Reporting directly to the SENCo, your daily mission will involve:
Implementing IEPs & EHCPs: Deliver targeted support programs by adapting resources and teaching strategies to meet the specific needs outlined in students' plans.
Specialist Interventions: Provide high-quality 1:1 or small-group support for students with ASD, MLD, Speech and Language needs, and SEMH challenges.
Age-Appropriate Support: Adapt your approach to support children developing foundational skills in Primary, through to young adults preparing for life after school.
Proactive Behaviour Management: Utilise positive strategies to manage and de-escalate challenging behaviours, maintaining a safe and nurturing environment.
Collaboration: Monitor progress and provide detailed feedback to teachers, the SENCo, and external agencies like Educational Psychologists.
Pastoral Care: Support emotional well-being and assist with personal care or mobility where required (full training provided).
What We Are Looking For
The ideal candidate will be a "people person" with a thick skin and a big heart. We require:
Relevant Experience: Experience working with children or young people (ages 4-18), specifically those with complex SEN.
Subject Knowledge: A deep understanding of learning difficulties, disabilities, and effective intervention strategies across various developmental stages.
Adaptive Communication: The ability to tailor your style to the specific needs of individual students, whether they are in Reception or Sixth Form.
Resilience: Exceptional patience and the ability to remain calm and proactive during challenging situations.
Commitment: A genuine passion for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of every pupil.
Why Join Us?
"In this role, you aren't just a staff member; you are the bridge between a student's potential and their achievement, regardless of where they are in their journey."
Professional Growth: Access to excellent development opportunities and specialist SEN training.
Team Culture: Work within a dedicated, multi-disciplinary Inclusion team.
Stability: A long-term contract in a highly rewarding environment.
