SEND Ta

£88.92 - £95 per day
Full-time

SEN Teaching Assistant | Specialist Support | Derby

Position: Full-Time, Long-Term (Term Time Only)

Salary: £90 - £95 per day (Weekly Pay - dependent on experience)

Start Date: Immediate / Next Term

Are you a compassionate, patient individual who believes that every child, regardless of their barriers, deserves an inspiring education? Join our specialist network as an SEN Teaching Assistant and provide the vital support needed to help students with additional needs thrive.

Small Steps, Big Victories: Impact Where It Matters Most

We are seeking dedicated SEND Specialists to work with students across all ages who have a range of needs, including Autism (ASC), ADHD, Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), or Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD). This role is perfect for those who value connection over curriculum and celebrate the unique progress of every individual learner.

  • Tailored Support: Work 1:1 or in small groups to make learning accessible, using sensory play, visual timetables, and personalised communication tools.
  • Specialist Career Growth: Gain invaluable experience in a field that is in high demand. Perfect for those pursuing careers in Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, or SEN Teaching.
  • Meaningful Work: Experience the immense reward of helping a student reach a milestone, whether it's a social breakthrough, a new communication skill, or an academic achievement.
  • Weekly Pay: Competitive daily rates of £90 - £95 , paid every Friday via Randstad.

Your Role as an SEN Advocate

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you are the student's bridge to the world, ensuring their environment is safe, inclusive, and stimulating.

  • Personalised Learning: Follow and implement EHCP goals, adapting classroom activities to meet the specific sensory and cognitive needs of the student.
  • Communication Support: Utilise alternative communication methods such as PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), Makaton, or AAC devices to give every child a voice.
  • Emotional Regulation: Act as a "calm consistent" presence, recognising early signs of distress and using sensory breaks or de-escalation strategies to support the student's wellbeing.
  • Collaborative Care: Work closely with the Class Teacher, SENCO, and external therapists to ensure a holistic approach to the child's development and safety.

Essential Requirements

We value empathy, adaptability, and a genuine passion for inclusion. You are an ideal fit if you:

  • Are Exceptionally Patient: You understand that progress can be non-linear and you have the resilience to support students through challenging moments.
  • Have Relevant Experience: This could be from a school, care setting, personal experience with family, or volunteering with SEND charities.
  • Are a Team Player: You can take direction from specialists while using your own initiative to support the student's daily routine.
  • Are Committed: You hold an enhanced DBS on the update service (or are willing to apply) and are 100% dedicated to Safeguarding.
