SEN Teaching Assistant - Permanent Role

Location- Near Horsham

Full time role (Monday-Friday) (Part time applicants will be considered a minimum 3 days a week)

If you want a rewarding career that empowers students to achieve fully independent living, this permanent teaching assistant opportunity near you is the perfect match for you.

The Position: Inclusive & Nurturing SEN Support

A warm, welcoming, and part-residential special needs school near you is seeking a fun, friendly, and dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant for a full-time, permanent position. This fully subscribed school supports learners aged 5 to 19 years with complex needs, including Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC), Asperger's, and associated learning difficulties.

Renowned for its pioneering child development strategies, the school has been awarded an OFSTED "Outstanding" rating. The site embraces an extensive, individually tailored creative curriculum that prioritises both academic growth and life skills, incorporating unique outdoor activities such as horse riding and equine therapy.

Key Job Information & Work Schedule

  • Contract Type: Full-Time, Permanent, Term time only
  • Start Date: ASAP (Notice periods considered)

Employee Benefits & Career Progression

This leading specialist provision heavily invests in its staff, offering premium resources and clear pathways for internal promotion:

  • Guaranteed Stability: Secure a permanent, full-time contract with competitive pay.
  • Specialist Training: Access fully provided Team-Teach training (de-escalation and behaviour management) via the school or Randstad Education.
  • State-of-the-Art Facilities: Work in superb, spacious classrooms and extensive grounds equipped with interactive whiteboards and iPads.
  • Career Advancement: Clear routes to progress into Senior Teaching Assistant roles, behaviour inclusion support, or specialised therapeutic pathways.

  • Traits: You must be flexible, resilient, and possess a inherently positive, patient approach to supporting vulnerable learners.
  • Qualifications: GCSE Maths and English (Grade C/4 or equivalent) is required.
  • Eligibility: A valid right to work in the UK is essential.
  • Experience: Direct SEN experience is desirable but not essential-comprehensive training is provided.

Key Responsibilities

  • Supporting complex SEN learners on a 1:1, small group, and whole-classroom basis.
  • Assisting the class teacher in delivering interactive, accessible lessons and outdoor educational activities.
  • Collaborating with parents, carers, and multi-agency teams regarding student progress and milestones.
  • Participating proactively in departmental meetings, parents' evenings, and whole-school training initiatives.

Fast-Track Your Application

The school is hosting an immediate intake due to full enrollment, and interviews will be taking place over the next 2 weeks. This position is accepting applications for the next 7 days only. Shortlisted candidates will complete a thorough three-stage interview process before a final review by the senior leadership team.
