SEND Teaching Assistant - September roles

£92.63 - £95 per day

Recruiting Now for September 2026 | SEND Teaching Assistants

SEND, SEMH, ASD & PMLD Support Roles Across Your Local Area

Some children just need the right person beside them.

This summer, we're recruiting caring, resilient and enthusiastic people to join our team and support pupils in SEND schools across your local area from September 2026 .

Whether you're an experienced Teaching Assistant or looking to take your first step into education, we'd love to hear from you.

Every day is different. One moment you could be celebrating a breakthrough in communication, the next you're helping a child build confidence, independence and trust. It's challenging, rewarding and genuinely makes a difference.

Experience in schools is fantastic, but it's not essential.

We'd also love to hear from people with backgrounds in youth work, care, coaching, mentoring, support work, mental health, residential care or roles supporting children and adults with additional needs. If you've got patience, empathy and the right attitude, we'll help you build the rest.

Your role could include:

• Supporting pupils on a one-to-one basis or in small groups

• Working with children and young people with SEND, SEMH, ASD and PMLD

• Helping pupils regulate emotions, build confidence and engage in learning

• Supporting communication, sensory activities and personal care where required

• Building positive relationships with pupils, families and school staff

• Working alongside teachers and specialist SEND teams

• Creating a safe, calm and encouraging learning environment

We're looking for people who are:

• Patient, kind and resilient

• Passionate about supporting children with additional needs

• Calm under pressure and happy to adapt

• Reliable, positive and ready to get stuck in

• Great at building relationships

• Available to start in September 2026

Why join Protocol Education?

• Flexible work to fit around your lifestyle

• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies

• A dedicated consultant who gets to know you and the schools that suit you

• FREE CPD and training, including our highly valued Thrive training

• Opportunities in SEND schools, specialist provisions and mainstream settings

• Long-term, short-term and permanent opportunities

• A role where you'll make a genuine difference every single day

Already Thrive trained? Brilliant, let us know when you apply.

Not Thrive trained yet? No problem. We offer FREE Thrive training , giving you valuable skills that schools are actively looking for and helping you stand out when applying for SEND roles.

If you're looking for rewarding work this September and want to make a real impact in your local community, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply over the summer and get everything in place for a September 2026 start.

All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see the FAQs on the Protocol Education website for further details.

All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay. This advert is for a temporary position. In some cases, the option to make this role permanent may become available at a later date.

We undertake safeguarding checks on all workers in accordance with the DfE statutory guidance ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’, this may also include an online search as part of our due diligence on shortlisted applicants.
