Are you a calm, confident, and experienced Teaching Assistant with a passion for supporting children with Autism? We're working with a specialist ASC setting in Birmingham, looking for a skilled SEN Teaching Assistant to join their primary phase team and make a lasting impact.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a nurturing, well-resourced school that tailors education to pupils with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). You'll be part of a supportive team dedicated to using proven ASC strategies and structured routines to help children thrive.

What You'll Be Doing:
- Provide 1:1 and small group support to pupils with ASC in the primary phase
- Use visual timetables, PECS, and other autism-friendly approaches to aid learning
- Support emotional regulation and sensory needs throughout the day
- Build strong, consistent relationships that help reduce anxiety and build trust
- Work closely with the class teacher and SENCO to deliver personalised support plans

What We're Looking For:
- A Level 2 or 3 Supporting Teaching and Learning Qualification
- Proven experience working with children with Autism (preferably in a school setting)
- A calm, patient, and proactive approach
- Knowledge of autism strategies such as TEACCH, PECS, visual support and sensory tools
- A genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs

Why Work with Long Term Futures?
- Long-term, stable work with the potential for a permanent role.
- No day-to-day supply - full-time consistency in one school.
- A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your placement.
- Trial days instead of formal interviews to ensure the right fit.
- Access to free CPD training, including Understanding Autism, Behaviour Management, and further professional development/refreshers.

Next Steps - Our 4-Step Process
- Apply - Submit your CV via the application page.
- Initial Call - Our team will discuss your experience and preferences.
- Trial Day - Experience the school before making a decision.
- Start Work - If the school is the right fit, you're ready to begin.

All applicants will need a valid DBS and two references to be considered for a trial day.
