Sen Teaching Assistant

A long-standing, community-rooted primary school in BS16 is looking for a part-time Teaching Assistant to support a pupil 1:1 with additional needs. This is a school where relationships come first, where children are known as individuals, and where staff genuinely care.

You’ll be working closely with one pupil, helping them navigate their school day with confidence. That might mean breaking learning into smaller steps, offering reassurance when things feel overwhelming, or simply being that consistent, calm presence they can rely on.

What makes this school special?

There’s a real sense of belonging here. Staff work together, pupils are encouraged to be curious and creative, and there’s a shared belief that education should support the whole child, not just their academic progress.

You’ll be joining a team that:

• Takes inclusion seriously, not just on paper
• Plans thoughtfully around individual needs
• Values kindness, patience, and teamwork

What you’ll bring

• A caring, steady approach, especially when things feel challenging
• Some experience with SEN, or a genuine interest in supporting pupils with additional needs
• The ability to build trust and positive relationships
• A team-first mindset

The role

• Part-time position
• Based in BS16
• 1:1 SEN support
• Ongoing opportunity

If you’re the kind of person who notices the quiet wins, the small steps forward, the moments that others might miss, you’ll fit right in here.
