SEND Teaching Assistant | Empower Every Learner
Role: SEND Teaching Assistant (1:1 and Small Group)
Location: Tamworth & Surrounding Areas
Salary: £90 - £100 Per Day
Contract: Fixed Term
Can you be the difference in a student's day?Every child deserves a champion-someone who never gives up on them and understands that progress looks different for everyone. We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate SEND Teaching Assistant to support students with a range of additional needs, including ASD, ADHD, and SEMH.
This isn't just about helping with schoolwork; it's about building confidence, managing anxieties, and celebrating the "small wins" that make a massive impact on a young person's life.
What's in it for you?
- Rewarding Work: Experience the genuine joy of seeing a student overcome a barrier because of your support.
- Weekly Pay: Competitive rates paid every Friday via Randstad.
- Expert Training: Access to specialised CPD, including Team-Teach, Autism Awareness, and de-escalation strategies.
- Consistency: Most of our SEND roles are long-term, providing you with a stable routine and the chance to build real bonds.
The Ideal "Mentor"
We want to hear from you if you:
- Are Empathetic: You have a "person-first" approach and can see the world through a student's eyes.
- Are Resilient: You stay calm under pressure and can handle challenging behaviour with a professional, de-escalating approach.
- Have Experience: Previous experience with SEND (in schools, care, or personal life) is highly desirable.
- Are a Communicator: You can work effectively with teachers, parents, and external therapists to follow EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) targets.
Your Core Responsibilities
- Support: Work 1:1 or in small groups to make the curriculum accessible (e.g., using visual timetables or sensory breaks).
- Nurture: Help students develop social skills and emotional regulation.
- Observe: Keep track of progress against EHCP goals and provide feedback to the SENCO.
- Safeguard: Maintain a safe, inclusive environment where every student feels valued.
