Special Educational Needs Teaching Assistant

SEN Teaching Assistants

We are recruiting SEN Teaching Assistants to support pupils with additional needs across local schools and specialist settings. If you're someone who believes every child deserves to feel understood, supported, and safe in education, this could be the role for you.

Why this role exists

Schools we work with support pupils with a wide range of needs - and they're asking for consistent, reliable, and empathetic support staff who understand SEN, not just education in general. That's where you come in.

Responsibilities

• Need 1:1 support to access learning
• Have Autism, ADHD, SEMH or learning difficulties
• Experience emotional regulation or behavioural challenges
• Require patience, reassurance, and routine
• Thrive with the right adult by their side

Support may take place in mainstream schools, special schools, or alternative provisions.

Who the role could suit you

• You have experience in SEN, care, youth work, or education.
• You're calm under pressure and emotionally intuitive.
• You enjoy building trust and positive relationships.
• You want to feel that your work actually matters.

What you'll get by working with us

• A SEND specialist agency (not a generalist recruiter).
• Placements matched to your strengths and experience.
• Ongoing support from consultants who understand SEN settings.
• Long term and consistent opportunities.
• Competitive daily pay.
