Are you a patient, empathetic, and resilient person looking for a rewarding role in education? We are seeking a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join our supportive primary school team.

What you'll do:

• Provide tailored support to pupils with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
• Adapt learning materials to suit individual needs.
• Help manage classroom behaviour with a calm, positive approach.
• Work closely with teachers and parents to track and celebrate progress.

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience with Special Educational Needs
• A "can-do" approach and a great sense of humour.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust quickly.

Why join us?

• A warm, inclusive school community.
• Ongoing professional development and training via The National College
• The chance to see the direct impact of your work every single day.
• A dedicated consulant to guide and support you through your placement.
