SEN Teaching Assistant

Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of children and young people?
We are seeking dedicated, caring and enthusiastic Teaching Assistants to join a friendly and supportive special educational needs setting in Surrey.

This all-through school caters for pupils aged 3–19 years with severe learning difficulties, many of whom have additional sensory, physical or communication needs. You’ll be part of an inclusive and collaborative team providing personalised support to help pupils engage, learn and thrive.

Key Responsibilities

• Support pupils’ access to the curriculum through tailored in-class assistance and one-to-one support.

• Help implement personalised learning plans and strategies that reflect pupils’ unique needs.

• Assist with communication, behaviour management and sensory activities.

• Promote independence, social skills and confidence in all pupils.

• Work collaboratively with teaching staff, therapists and families to support pupil progress.

About You

We’re looking for TAs who:

✔ Are patient, adaptable and genuinely motivated to support pupils with SEN
✔ Have experience (or a desire to train) in working with pupils with severe learning difficulties
✔ Can communicate effectively with pupils and adults
✔ Are team players who bring positive energy and professionalism

Previous experience in a special school, SEND setting, or relevant training is desirable but not essential — we welcome candidates with the right attitude and commitment to learn.
