We are currently working with a specialist SEND school in Richmond, who are looking for dedicated SEND Teaching Assistants to join their school in September

The Role

As a SEND Teaching Assistant, you will be supporting learners with severe and complex learning difficulties in a range of learning and development activities. Most of the children you will be working with have very limited communication skills, and some are completely non-verbal. You will be assisting more than one class, supporting several children across the school, rather than working 1:1 with any particular child. There will be personal care aspects included in this position.

The school are looking for dedicated people with a true passion to support children with Special Educational Needs. Training will be provided.

The School

This happy, forward-thinking and innovative Special Needs school is for children and young people aged 4 -19 with severe and complex learning difficulties including those with an additional diagnosis of autism and/or physical/sensory disabilities. Children follow an individualised curriculum for learners to enjoy and be stimulated and challenged to fulfil their potential. The school’s experienced leadership team and highly-qualified staff have created a culture of high expectations for both learners and themselves. This school offers and excellent opportunity for teachers and support staff who want to work in a special educational needs environment.

Based in Richmond, the school is accessible by car and public transport.
