What skills and experience we're looking for
We are currently seeking two committed SEN Teaching Assistants (TAs) to join our supportive team.
This role involves supporting a KS2 pupil with emotional regulation needs and slower processing skills. The child, who is working under an EHCP, has made excellent progress with consistent support and is thriving in our environment. We’re looking for someone to continue that journey — providing stability, encouragement, and expertise as the pupil progresses through Key Stage 2.
There may be times when you’ll be asked to support other children across the year group, especially when named pupils are absent or working independently. Flexibility and a team spirit are essential.
We’re Looking for Someone Who:
- Is confident working 1:1, with small groups, and within the wider class context.
- Can collaborate closely with colleagues, the SENDCo, and class teachers to develop individual learning plans and behaviour strategies.
- Is flexible, motivated, and responsive to a wide range of learning needs.
- Supports children's self-esteem, inclusion, and emotional development.
- Builds positive relationships with both children and parents, demonstrating excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Brings warmth, resilience, and a nurturing presence to the classroom.
Contract Information:
These are temporary contracts, linked to the continuation of individual pupil funding or the pupil remaining on roll. The contract will end if either condition changes.
If you’re enthusiastic about making a meaningful difference in children’s lives and want to be part of a positive, forward-thinking school, we’d love to hear from you!
