SEND Teaching Assistant

Role: SEND Teaching Assistant (1:1 and Small Group)

Location: Tamworth & Surrounding Areas

Salary: £90 - £100 Per Day

Contract: Fixed Term

Every child deserves a champion-someone who never gives up on them and understands that progress looks different for everyone. We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate SEND Teaching Assistant to support students with a range of additional needs, including ASD, ADHD, and SEMH.

This isn't just about helping with schoolwork; it's about building confidence, managing anxieties, and celebrating the "small wins" that make a massive impact on a young person's life.

• Rewarding Work: Experience the genuine joy of seeing a student overcome a barrier because of your support.

• Weekly Pay: Competitive rates paid every Friday via Randstad.

• Expert Training: Access to specialised CPD, including Team-Teach, Autism Awareness, and de-escalation strategies.

• Consistency: Most of our SEND roles are long-term, providing you with a stable routine and the chance to build real bonds.

We want to hear from you if you:

• Are Empathetic: You have a "person-first" approach and can see the world through a student's eyes.

• Are Resilient: You stay calm under pressure and can handle challenging behaviour with a professional, de-escalating approach.

• Have Experience: Previous experience with SEND (in schools, care, or personal life) is highly desirable.

• Are a Communicator: You can work effectively with teachers, parents, and external therapists to follow EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) targets.

• Support: Work 1:1 or in small groups to make the curriculum accessible (e.g., using visual timetables or sensory breaks).

• Nurture: Help students develop social skills and emotional regulation.

• Observe: Keep track of progress against EHCP goals and provide feedback to the SENCO.

• Safeguard: Maintain a safe, inclusive environment where every student feels valued.

If you have a big heart and a passion for inclusion, we would love to hear from you.
