✅ Supporting EHCP outcomes and monitoring progress
✅ Planning, marking and assessment where required

🤝 SEN Teaching Assistants

We welcome experienced SEN TAs, Learning Support Assistants and applicants with relevant experience in education, care, youth work or disability support. A TA qualification is welcome, but relevant experience may also be suitable.

You may support pupils individually, in small groups or within a classroom, helping them to:

✅ Access learning under the teacher's direction
✅ Develop communication, confidence and independence
✅ Manage emotions and build positive relationships
✅ Participate in lessons and develop social skills

You'll work closely with teachers and share observations about pupils' progress. Some roles include personal care or mobility support; requirements and relevant training will be discussed before placement.

💙 All SEN/SEND specialisms welcome

We welcome experience in specialist schools, alternative provision, pupil referral units, resource bases and mainstream SEND support, including:

- Speech, language and communication needs
