Part Time Inclusion/SEND Teaching Assistant
September 2025
B1 Scp 4Temporary (1 year) 25 hours per week, term time only
Swarcliffe Primary School is a 1.5 form entry primary and nursery school located on the edge of Whinmoor Seacroft wards in East Leeds. Our motto, 'Enrich, Enhance, Excite' reflects our inclusive ethos and high-quality, creative curriculum which both challenges and inspires children of all abilities. The intake of school is a wonderful mix of ethnicity, race and culture backgrounds. The school provides an excellent inclusive provision which has been recognised as a real strength in previous Ofsted inspections. There is a strong team ethos throughout school; staff are tremendously hard-working and dedicated to raising standards for all.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, skilled and highly motivated colleague to significantly contribute to the work of our Inclusion team in the role of Inclusion/SEND Teaching Assistant, specifically for EYFS and KS1 children. We welcome applications from candidates who have current experience of developing provision and practice in supporting children with additional SEND needs, including children with cognition and learning, communication and interaction and children with sensory and complex SEND needs. We are looking for candidates who would relish the opportunity to make a real difference to the children and families that Swarcliffe Primary School serves.
Working under the direction of the Senior Leader for inclusion and class teachers, you will be accountable for the impact of provision, putting the child at the heart of your practice. You will support pupils accessing learning in the classroom and also lead the personalised provision of individual pupils in line with their SEND support plans; facilitating individual and group work; alongside developing strong working partnerships with colleagues, parents and other agencies. You will be responsive to children’s individual needs, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability. This may include being a child’s keyworker and/or supporting the provision of a group of learners or whole class support across the primary age range. As an inclusion worker, you will also play a significant role in driving our inclusion agenda, for example, engaging and re-engaging children in school including children who face multiple barriers in engaging in school and facilitating personalised provision for learners. Supporting and nurturing parental links is fundamental to this role and it would be expected that you work towards achieving expectations as outlined in the SEND code of practice 2014.
We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate:
● a professional, committed, conscientious and hard-working approach;
● a genuine desire and passion to improve outcomes for the children at Swarcliffe recognising that the position of Inclusion/SEND Teaching Assistant is integral to the work of our inclusion team in achieving this;
● an understanding of how children learn most effectively, including those with special educational needs in cognition and learning, communication and interaction and/or pupils with sensory and complex SEND needs;
● experience of successfully improving outcomes for SEND learners;
● experience of contributing to and role modelling practice and approaches that supports all learners to access inclusive classrooms;
● the ability to follow direction from others but also use their initiative;
● experience (or the desire to develop skills) in intensive interaction strategies such as PECs
● the confidence to challenge behaviours in a caring and patient manner;
● the ability to engage and build positive and professional relationships with parents and carers;
● a commitment to high standards of behaviour, engagement in learning and pupil achievement and progress;
● excellent literacy, numeracy and communication skills;
● the ability to work flexibly, including working across the primary age range;
● a sustained commitment to their professional development;
● experience in developing language and communication skills.
We can offer:
● creative and encouraging colleagues who actively promote the vision and aims of the school
● excellent professional development, training and the opportunity to further your knowledge and skills
● the opportunity to play a significant part in driving the agenda of inclusion through personalised provision and inclusive classroom practice
● enthusiastic and engaging children who are proud of their school
● supportive parents, strong community links and an active and committed governing body
