Location: Middleton

Contract: Temporary

Full time/Part time: Full time, 8:30am to 3:30pm, Monday to Friday

Pay: From £120 per day

Start date: ASAP

Expected end date: 17th July 2027

We are working in partnership with a welcoming and supportive SEND school in MIddleton, who are looking to appoint a compassionate and dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to support pupils with complex needs.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Teaching Assistant who is passionate about supporting children with additional needs to access education, develop their communication skills and reach their individual potential. You'll be joining a specialist setting where personalised support, patience and a nurturing approach are at the heart of everything they do.

The Role

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you will:

  • Provide 1:1 and small-group support to pupils with complex special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
  • Support pupils with a range of needs, including autism, physical disabilities, communication difficulties, sensory processing needs and learning difficulties.
  • Assist with personal care, including toileting, feeding and hygiene, where required.
  • Support the delivery of personalised learning activities that encourage engagement, communication, independence and social development.
  • Help pupils regulate their emotions and sensory needs by providing a calm, safe and supportive environment.
  • Adapt your approach to meet each pupil's individual abilities, needs and learning goals.
  • Work collaboratively with teachers, therapists and other support staff to ensure pupils receive consistent, high-quality care and support.

We're Looking For

  • Previous experience supporting children or young people with complex needs, significant SEND or additional learning needs.
  • An understanding of conditions such as autism, physical disabilities, sensory processing difficulties and communication needs.
  • A patient, caring and resilient approach, with the ability to respond calmly to challenging situations.
  • Confidence supporting personal care and following individual care plans, where required.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
  • A genuine passion for helping pupils with additional needs develop their confidence, independence and life skills.

Why Register with Educato?

  • Competitive rates of pay, from £110 per day.
  • A dedicated consultant supporting you throughout your placement.
  • Opportunities in SEND schools, mainstream schools with specialist provisions and alternative provisions.
  • Long-term, permanent and daily supply opportunities available.
  • Recommend a friend scheme.
  • Ongoing support throughout your career.

Whether you're an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant or have a strong background supporting children with complex needs, we'd love to hear from you.
