Thetford
Are you a compassionate and resilient individual looking to make an immediate impact in a specialised educational setting?
Do you have the compassion and dedication required to support students with diverse learning needs?
Are you ready to join a wonderful SEN school in Thetford that is celebrated for its nurturing environment and student-centered success?
We are seeking a proactive SEN Teaching Assistant for an immediate start at a truly remarkable SEN School in Thetford. This is a rare opportunity to join a team that feels like a family, dedicated to providing an inclusive and empowering education for children with complex needs, including Autism (ASD) and Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD). If you are looking for a role where your presence truly matters every single day, this is the school for you.
Your Responsibilities
- Tailored Support: Work 1:1 and in small groups to help students engage with sensory-based and academic activities.
- Positive Behaviour Support: Implement personalised strategies to help students manage their emotions and navigate the school day in a calm, low-arousal manner.
- Personal Care & Wellbeing: Assist with the physical and emotional needs of students, ensuring they feel safe, respected, and ready to learn.
- Communication Advocacy: Utilise tools such as PECS, Makaton, or visual timetables to help non-verbal or semi-verbal students express themselves.
- Collaborative Working: Partner with the class teacher and therapy teams (Speech & Language, OT) to follow Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
- Celebrating Milestones: Foster a positive environment where every small victory-from improved social interaction to a new skill mastered-is celebrated.
What You'll Bring to the Team
- Experience or Passion: Prior experience in SEN is beneficial, but we also welcome individuals from care, sports coaching, or youth work backgrounds who possess the right "can-do" attitude.
- Resilience: The ability to stay calm and supportive during challenging moments.
- Empathy: A genuine desire to understand the unique perspectives and needs of neurodivergent learners.
- Reliability: The school needs consistent faces to build trust with their students-your punctuality and commitment are key.
- Compliance: An enhanced Child & Adult DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one via Randstad).
Why Partner with Randstad?
- Daily Rates: Earn £90 - £95 per day
- "Wonderful" School Setting: Work in a highly-regarded Thetford school known for its fantastic facilities and supportive leadership team.
- ASAP Start: Skip the long wait-we are looking to get the right person into the classroom immediately.
- Dedicated Consultancy: Work with Neeraj, your specialist consultant, who will guide you through the vetting process and ensure a smooth start.
- Referral Rewards: Earn a £300 voucher for every friend or colleague you successfully refer to our team!
