Full-time

SEN Teaching Assistant - Tavistock area

£100–£105 per day (Full-Time, Monday to Friday)

Temp-to-Permanent Opportunity

Start Date: January 2026

 

Are you a passionate and patient individual with a genuine desire to support young people with special educational needs?

We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Special Educational Needs Teaching Assistant (SEN TA) to support pupils aged 7 to 16 who have autism and associated needs. Many of our learners have experienced difficulties in mainstream education and may display school-based anxiety, avoidance behaviours, or challenging behaviour as a result of previous experiences. They all have Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) in place, outlining a range of complex, overlapping needs.

 

The young people you will support may present with a variety of communication, emotional, behavioural, and sensory processing differences. You will play a vital role in helping them feel safe, understood, and ready to learn, using a calm, consistent, and pupil-centred approach.



 

What the school are looking for: 

  • Experience working with children or young people with SEN (particularly autism)
  • A calm, empathetic, and resilient approach
  • Confidence supporting pupils with behavioural and emotional needs
  • A team player who is flexible, reliable, and committed to inclusive education



 

The benefits of joining Long-term Teachers

  • If you’re looking for a long-term or permanent role, we’re the only specialist agency dedicated to finding you your next role.
  • Exclusive access to permanent roles you won’t find with supply agencies
  • A £200 welcome bonus for qualified Teachers joining from another agency
  • £150 ‘refer a friend’ reward once they complete 10 days of work
  • The choice between PAYE or Umbrella PAYE
  • Access to a guaranteed pay scheme (subject to eligibility)
  • Interview preparation and expert advice
  • A dedicated team to guide you through your onboarding
  • Free professional development courses to enhance your skills and knowledge

 

If you're ready to take the next step in your SEN career and help young people thrive, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today to start your journey in January 2026!
