Safeguarding & Prevent
Role: Primary SEND Teaching Assistant (1:1 / Small Group)
Location: Tamworth & Surrounding Areas
Salary: £88.92 - £100 Per Day
Contract: Fixed Term
Can you be the guiding light for a child's first steps in education?
Every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and capable. We are looking for a patient and nurturing SEND Teaching Assistant to join a vibrant Primary School in Tamworth. You will be working with children in EYFS, KS1, or KS2 who have additional needs such as ASD, GDD (Global Developmental Delay), or Speech and Language difficulties.
This isn't just about "getting through the lesson"-it's about using play, patience, and creativity to help a child navigate their world.
What's in it for you?
- A Heart-Warming Career: There is nothing quite like seeing a child reach a milestone because of your dedicated support.
- Work-Life Balance: 8:30 am - 3:30 pm hours, allowing you to reclaim your evenings.
- Weekly Pay: Competitive rates paid every Friday via Randstad.
- A Foot in the Door: Perfect for those looking to progress into Educational Psychology, Speech Therapy, or Primary Teaching.
The Ideal "Champion" for Pupils
We want to hear from you if you:
- Are Naturally Patient: You understand that "progress" might be a child sitting for five minutes or making eye contact for the first time.
- Are Creative: You can turn a sensory bin or a picture board into a powerful learning tool.
- Have Experience: Whether it's in a school, nursery, or a personal care setting, you have a baseline understanding of SEND.
- Are a Team Player: You can work hand-in-hand with the Class Teacher and the SENCO to deliver a child's EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan).
Your Core Responsibilities
- 1:1 Support: Provide tailored assistance to a specific child, helping them access the curriculum at their own pace.
- Personal Care: Be comfortable assisting with personal care or mobility needs if required (training provided).
- Sensory Learning: Use "Now & Next" boards, PECS, or sensory breaks to keep a child regulated and happy.
- Build Confidence: Foster a sense of independence and social skills during playtime and group activities.
