Summary

Looking for Purpose and Balance? Become a SEN Teaching Assistant

Cranleigh, Surrey
Full-time, Family-Friendly Schedule

Are you returning to work or looking for a more meaningful career path? If you're someone with patience, empathy, and a desire to help children thrive - we'd love to hear from you.

We're seeking a warm, committed SEN Teaching Assistant to support young people with special educational needs in a school that blends education, care, and therapy in a welcoming, inclusive setting.

About the School:

This is more than just a school - it's a supportive community where staff work closely together to help students overcome complex learning challenges. You'll join a team that values kindness, teamwork, and making a difference every single day.

What You'll Do:

  • Support students with a range of additional needs in their learning and day-to-day school life.

  • Work collaboratively with teachers and therapists to create a calm, nurturing classroom.

  • Help implement personalised education plans (don't worry - training is provided).

  • Support students' personal development, communication, and confidence.

  • Be a trusted adult who encourages progress - however small - and celebrates success.

Why This Role Might Be Right for You:

  • Looking for work that feels purposeful? This role lets you directly impact a child's life.

  • Returning to work? We offer a supportive environment that values transferable life experience.

  • Want stability? Enjoy regular hours, holidays aligned with the school calendar, and professional development opportunities.

  • Need flexibility? The team understands real life - they're approachable and family-aware.

You Might Be:

  • A parent with experience supporting children or teens.

  • A former teaching assistant, youth worker, carer, or nurse returning to work.

  • Someone who has worked in people-focused roles (retail, customer service, care) looking for a more fulfilling path.

You don't need previous school experience - just the right mindset, a caring approach, and a willingness to learn.

Let's talk! To find out more or apply, call Paul Hirchfield on 01293 527416. We'd love to hear your story.
