Level 3 SEND Teaching Assistant

Helping Every Child Thrive

At James Montgomery Academy Trust, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, feel valued and experience a genuine sense of belonging. We are seeking compassionate, skilled and experienced Level 3 Teaching Assistants with a passion for supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to join our dedicated teams across our schools.

This is a rewarding role for professionals who understand that effective SEND support is about more than removing barriers to learning. It is about building confidence, encouraging independence, nurturing positive relationships and helping pupils achieve their full potential academically, socially and emotionally.

Working closely with class teachers, SENDCos, families and external professionals, you will provide tailored support for pupils with a range of needs, including those with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), communication and interaction needs, SEMH needs and sensory needs. You will deliver targeted interventions, adapt learning to meet individual needs and contribute to creating inclusive environments where every child can flourish.

We are looking for individuals who:

• Have experience supporting pupils with a range of SEND needs.
• Understand the importance of inclusion and high expectations for all learners.
• Can implement personalised strategies to support communication, engagement and emotional wellbeing.
• Build positive and trusting relationships with pupils, families and colleagues.
• Are committed to continuous professional learning and developing their specialist SEND knowledge and practice.
• Demonstrate patience, resilience, empathy and professionalism in all aspects of their work.

In return, you will join a Trust that is committed to developing its people, investing in high-quality training and working collaboratively to improve outcomes for children. You will be part of a supportive team where inclusion is at the heart of everything we do and where your contribution will make a lasting difference to the lives of young people.

If you are passionate about championing the success of children with SEND and want to be part of a Trust that shares that commitment, we would be delighted to hear from you.
