Are you passionate about supporting children with special educational needs? Do you have a natural ability to connect with young learners and support their unique development? We are recruiting an enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming primary school in Dover, offering an immediate start for the right candidate.

As a SEN Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with children who have special educational needs, providing one-on-one and small group support under the guidance of the class teacher and SENCO.

• Relevant qualifications (e.g., Level 2 or 3 in Supporting Teaching and Learning, CACHE, or equivalent) are desirable but not essential for the right candidate.
