A welcoming and inclusive primary school in Dudley is offering an exciting opportunity for a Graduate SEN Teaching Assistant to join their team this September. This is a perfect stepping stone for anyone looking to gain hands-on experience supporting children with special educational needs (SEN) before pursuing further study or training in education or psychology.

About the School

This Dudley-based primary school is proud of its inclusive ethos and strong focus on individualised support. The dedicated staff team works closely together to create a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for all children—particularly those with additional needs such as autism, ADHD, speech and language difficulties, and developmental delays.

As a Graduate SEN Teaching Assistant, you will play a key role in supporting pupils with diverse learning needs. Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing 1:1 and small group support to help children access the curriculum

  
  

• Adapting activities and learning resources in collaboration with class teachers and the SENCO

  
  

• Building positive and trusting relationships with pupils to support both learning and emotional wellbeing

• Promoting independence, self-confidence, and a love for learning

  • Holds a 2:1 degree or above in Psychology, Education, English, Maths, or a related subject

    
    

  • Is genuinely passionate about helping children with additional needs

    
    

  • Has a calm, patient, and empathetic approach

    
    

  • Communicates effectively and works well in a team

    
    

  • May have experience working with children or young people (e.g. tutoring, mentoring, coaching, or volunteering)

    
    Why This Role is a Brilliant Career Move

    • Gain school-based experience that strengthens applications for PGCEs, teacher training, or psychology-related postgraduate study

      
      

    • Work alongside experienced teachers and SEN professionals who will mentor and support you

      
      

    • Contribute to a school environment that values both staff development and pupil wellbeing

      
      

    • Make a genuine impact on children's learning and emotional development

      
      

    • Explore future pathways in education, child psychology, therapy, or special needs support
