Teaching Assistant

Temporary

Job Title: Special Educational Needs (SEN) Teaching Assistant – Sensory Class
Start Date: September 2026
Contract: Full-time (Monday–Friday, 8:30am – 3:30pm)

About the School

We are a dedicated special school providing day provision for pupils aged 7 to 19 with a wide range of needs, including moderate to severe learning difficulties, ASD, and associated speech, language and communication challenges.

The school is built on strong values and high aspirations for every pupil. We aim to:

• Support young people with learning difficulties to reach their full potential through a commitment to equal opportunities.
• Provide opportunities for educational development to the highest possible level, alongside nurturing each individual’s talents, skills, confidence, and self-esteem.
• Create a respectful and inclusive environment that promotes self-discipline, mutual respect, kindness, tolerance, and an understanding of diverse backgrounds and beliefs.
• Ensure pupils and their families reflect positively on their time with us, recognising the growth, confidence, and happiness achieved.

The Role
We are seeking a passionate and resilient SEN Teaching Assistant to join our team from September. The successful candidate will support a sensory class, working with pupils who:

• Are mostly pre-verbal
• Require support with communication and interaction
• May display dysregulated behaviour and require consistent, structured support

The role will involve:

• Providing 1:1 and small group support within the classroom
• Supporting pupils with sensory-based learning activities
• Assisting with personal care where required
• Using positive behaviour strategies, including Team Teach approaches
• Working closely with the class teacher and wider multidisciplinary team

Candidate Requirements
We are looking for someone who:

• Has experience working with children or young people with SEN, particularly ASD and complex needs (desirable but not essential)
• Is calm, patient, and able to build strong, trusting relationships
• Is confident supporting individuals with communication difficulties
• Can respond effectively to challenging behaviours using a consistent approach
• Is committed to promoting inclusion, respect, and equality

What We Offer

• A supportive and collaborative team environment
• Opportunities for ongoing training and professional development
• A rewarding role where you can make a real difference in young people’s lives
