Are you a dedicated SEN professional looking to make a genuine difference in the lives of children with diverse learning needs? We are seeking a compassionate and resilient SEN Teaching Assistant to join a mainstream primary school's onsite Alternative Provision.

The Role

The school operates two specialised onsite provisions designed to support children within a mainstream setting. You will be working with pupils of mixed verbal abilities, many of whom have limited or no verbal communication.

Consistency is the heartbeat of this provision; therefore, we are looking for an individual who can commit to a full-time schedule to provide the stable environment these pupils need to thrive.

Key Responsibilities:

Specialist Support: Work 1:1 and in small groups within the Alternative Provision.

Collaborative Care: Liaise closely with the school SENCO and external Speech and Language Therapists to implement tailored communication and learning plans.

Communication Advocacy: Utilise and support non-verbal communication methods to ensure every child has a voice.

Safe Environment: Maintain a welcoming and challenging learning space that aligns with the school's community values.

About You

We are looking for a professional who understands that progress in SEN is built on trust, patience, and unwavering support.

Experience: A strong background in Special Educational Needs (SEN) is essential.

Qualifications: Ideally TA qualified with previous school-based experience.

Communication Skills: Familiarity with supporting children with limited verbal ability (knowledge of AAC, PECS, or Makaton is highly desirable).

Reliability: A steadfast commitment to 08:30-15:30 attendance is vital for the stability and progress of the children.

The Environment

This is a learning community providing both challenge and enjoyment within a partnership of parents, family members, and the local community. The school is committed to providing all pupils with teaching and support of the highest possible quality within a safe and welcoming environment.
