Create happy school memories
You’ll not only help our pupils achieve academically, you’ll also help in making them feel accepted and understood, increasing their confidence and self-esteem step by step.
The difference you make will be enormous – as a SEN Teaching Assistant you’ll be playing a big part in creating the best possible outcomes, but most importantly helping to create happy school memories for every pupil.
Working with us
We want experienced teaching assistants to join us, who are ready for the next step and the enhanced development opportunities that go with it.
You’ll be used to life in the classroom, up to date with welfare and safeguarding practices within education and qualified to at least NVQ level 2 (or equivalent).
You’ll have the ability to truly connect and build great relationships with all of our young people, so you can motivate them to do well and be the best that they possibly can be, whatever that may look like.
You’ll be someone who works well in a team environment and is also able to demonstrate resilience, so that our pupils know that they can depend on you to be there for them. Your hard work and dedication will be rewarded with opportunities to progress and build a long term career with us.
A clear career path
We have 3 levels in our SEN Teaching Assistant teams: Level 2, Level 3 and Higher Level Teaching Assistants. All levels have clear progression paths.
As a Higher Level Teaching Assistant you can be the catalyst for our young people’s progress and development. As well as working with individuals, groups and classes, we’ll give you the chance to grow your own skills by taking on extra duties – planning meetings, working without supervision and helping teachers create brilliant learning activities. With your specialist knowledge, you’ll be able to support and develop other teaching assistants too.
