Are you an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant currently working within a specialist setting and considering a move into mainstream education?

We are working closely with a number of supportive and inclusive mainstream schools seeking dedicated SEN Teaching Assistants to support pupils with additional needs, including SEMH and SEN, on a full-time basis.

These rewarding roles are ideal for candidates with experience in SEN schools who are looking to apply their valuable skills within a mainstream environment while continuing to make a meaningful impact on children’s education and wellbeing.

The positions will involve:

• Providing tailored 1:1 support for pupils with additional needs
• Delivering small group intervention sessions
• Supporting children with SEMH, autism, ADHD, and communication needs
• Encouraging positive behaviour and emotional regulation
• Working closely with teachers, SENCOs, and pastoral teams to support pupil progress

The schools are looking for individuals who:

• Have previous experience supporting children with SEN and/or SEMH
• Are patient, resilient, and nurturing in their approach
• Can build strong and trusting relationships with pupils
• Are confident adapting support strategies to meet individual needs
• Are passionate about helping every child succeed both academically and emotionally

In return, you will benefit from:

• A supportive transition from specialist to mainstream education
• Welcoming and experienced school teams
• Full-time, long-term opportunities
• Valuable professional development and training opportunities
• The chance to make a genuine difference every day

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to broaden their experience while continuing to support children who need encouragement, consistency, and positive role models to thrive in school.
