SEND Teaching Assistants & Learning Support Assistants

SEND Teaching Assistants & Learning Support Assistants | Crowborough & Surrounding Areas

Working in education or supporting young people around Crowborough? Let’s talk about your next step.

I’m looking to connect with Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Assistants and people interested in moving into SEND education around Crowborough and the surrounding areas.

You might already work in a specialist setting, be considering a move from mainstream education or have relevant experience from outside schools.

I’d be interested in hearing about your background and what you’re looking for.

Could your experience transfer?

Relevant backgrounds can include:

• Teaching Assistant and learning support work

• Care and support roles

• Youth work and mentoring

• Sports coaching

• Tutoring

• Other experience supporting children and young people

Some school requirements call for established SEND experience. Others may allow you to build on transferable skills, particularly around communication, relationship building and supporting engagement.

Patience, consistency, appropriate boundaries and a willingness to learn are all valuable.

A conversation about what suits you

Before moving into recruitment, I worked directly within SEND education myself.

I know that supporting young people can involve academic learning alongside communication, confidence, emotional regulation and independence. I also know that different settings suit different people.

We’ll discuss your experience, availability, travel options and the environments you enjoy. From there, I can consider you for suitable opportunities as school needs arise.

You’ll also have access to CPD and professional development to support your understanding and practice.

Pay & practical information

Teaching Assistant and LSA opportunities are paid from £92.60 per day.

You’ll need an Enhanced Child Workforce DBS registered on the Update Service. If you don’t currently hold one, you’ll need to apply through us and join the Update Service. I’ll support you through the process, with the associated cost covered by the applicant.
