This position offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children who require additional support to reach their full potential.
About the Role
As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you will be working closely with children who have a range of complex needs, providing them with the care, encouragement, and tailored support they require to thrive in an educational setting. The role involves assisting students with their daily learning activities, supporting their emotional well-being, and ensuring that they feel safe and valued within the school environment.

This will include adapting learning materials, using assistive technology where necessary, and helping students to develop essential life skills alongside their academic progress.
A key aspect of this role involves providing emotional and behavioural support to students who may struggle with anxiety and trauma-related challenges. You will be responsible for helping them to regulate their emotions, build confidence, and develop positive relationships with their peers and staff.
Additionally, some students may require personal care support, including assistance with mobility, feeding, and toileting, ensuring their dignity and comfort at all times.
