teaching assistant - autism support
£90 - £95 per dayTeaching Assistant | Autism (ASC) Specialist | Local Specialist Schools
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 patient, perceptive individual with a passion for neurodiversity? Join our specialist network as an Autism Support Assistant and help children with ASC navigate their school day with confidence, comfort, and success.
Unlocking Potential: Support Beyond the Standard ClassroomWe are seeking dedicated ASC Specialists to work within local Special Schools and Resource Provisions. This role is for those who understand that for a student with Autism, a "breakthrough" might be a successful transition between lessons, a new word, or a calm afternoon in a sensory room.
- Sensory-First Approach: Help manage the environment to reduce sensory overload, ensuring students feel safe and ready to learn.
- Specialised Communication: Gain or use experience with PECS, Makaton, and Visual Timetables to facilitate meaningful interaction.
- Career Growth: Build a CV that is highly attractive for future roles in Clinical Psychology, SEN Teaching, or Occupational Therapy.
- Weekly Pay: Competitive daily rates of £90 - £95, paid every Friday via Randstad.
As an Autism Support Assistant, you are the student's guide to the social and academic world, providing the scaffolding they need to thrive.
- Promoting Predictability: Use visual schedules and "now and next" boards to reduce anxiety and help students manage transitions between activities.
- Supportive Interventions: Work 1:1 to deliver personalised learning tasks that align with the student's specific interests and EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) goals.
- Managing "Meltdowns" with Empathy: Recognise the early signs of sensory or emotional deregulation and implement calming strategies or "masking" breaks before a crisis occurs.
- Social Coaching: Facilitate structured play or social interactions, helping students develop the tools they need to build friendships and work alongside peers.
We value a calm energy and a deep respect for neurodivergent ways of thinking. You are an ideal fit if you:
- Are Naturally Observant: You can spot the small changes in a student's body language that signal they need a break or a change in activity.
- Have Relevant Experience: Experience with Autism (either professionally or personally), or knowledge of TEACCH or ABA principles, is a significant advantage.
- Are Resilient & Kind: You understand that "challenging" moments are a result of communication barriers or sensory distress, and you respond with patience, not frustration.
- Are Committed: You hold an enhanced DBS on the update service (or are willing to apply) and are 100% dedicated to Safeguarding.
