Teaching Assistant SEN

Have you spent years caring for others, or are you looking for a way to give back to your local community in Cranleigh? We are looking for Teaching Assistants to join a leading Specialist Trust where your maturity, patience, and kindness are exactly what our students need.

We support children and young people with complex learning needs and autism. For them, a consistent, calm presence is everything. This isn't just about academics; it's about providing the steady hand and encouraging word that helps a young person feel safe enough to learn.

In this role, your "soft skills" are your greatest strengths. You will be a vital part of a supportive team, helping students navigate their day with dignity.

• Patience & Understanding: You understand that progress takes time and that every small win is worth celebrating.

• Life Skills Mentoring: Use your practical knowledge to help students develop the skills they need for daily life, from communication to social interaction.

• Building Connections: You'll work 1-on-1, forming meaningful bonds with students who benefit from your focused attention and empathy.

• Collaborative Care: You'll work alongside a friendly, professional team of teachers and therapists in a campus environment that feels like a community.

We aren't looking for a "perfect" CV-we are looking for the right person. This role is a great fit if:

• You are a "people person": You enjoy building relationships and have a natural ability to connect with others.

• You have a calm temperament: You are the person others lean on when things get a little hectic.

• You want to make a local impact: You want a role in Cranleigh that truly serves the next generation.

We offer a welcoming environment where you are truly valued. You will benefit from comprehensive training to ensure you feel confident in the classroom, a predictable term-time schedule that respects your life outside of work, and the immense satisfaction of knowing you are making a tangible difference in a young person's world.

If you have a big heart and a bit of spare time to help ours grow, we would love to hear from you.

Ready to talk? Reach out to Paul at Randstad for a friendly, no-pressure chat about joining our team.
