But don't just take our word for it. Hear from one of our current SEN Teaching Assistants, who describes the role as "the most rewarding and fulfilling work I've ever done. Seeing the progress our students make, both academically and socially, is truly humbling. It's a privilege to be a part of their journey."

So, what are the qualities that make an exceptional SEN Teaching Assistant?
