As a Part-time SEN Teaching Assistant, you will play a crucial role in supporting the learning and development of students with a range of special educational needs, including learning difficulties, physical disabilities, and behavioural challenges.

- Implementing individualised learning plans and strategies developed by the SENCO or lead teacher
- Helping students with personal care tasks, such as toileting, feeding, and mobility, as required
- Fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment that encourages student engagement and participation

- A minimum of one year of experience working as a Teaching Assistant, preferably in a special educational needs setting

- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with students, parents, and colleagues
- Excellent organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to multitask and prioritise effectively
- A genuine passion for supporting students with special educational needs and a commitment to their academic and personal growth
- The ability to work collaboratively as part of a team, while also being able to work independently when required
- A flexible and adaptable approach to your work, with the willingness to take on additional responsibilities as needed
In return for your dedication and expertise, our client offers a competitive daily rate of £90 - £100, as well as the opportunity to work in a supportive and inclusive environment. This is a part-time position, with the potential for additional hours or the possibility of transitioning to a full-time role, depending on your availability and the needs of the school.
If you are an enthusiastic and compassionate individual who is passionate about making a difference in the lives of students with special educational needs, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
