Sen Teaching Assistant

Want a role where you’re genuinely needed, not just filling a gap? This is one of those.

We’re looking for a confident, compassionate Learning Partner to join a welcoming primary school in Emersons Green, supporting a child with additional needs on a 1:1 basis. You’ll be right at the heart of the classroom, helping one pupil feel settled, supported, and ready to take on the day.

The role at a glance:

Emersons Green (BS16)

• ⏰ Full-time, 8:30am – 3:30pm
• £14.25 per hour, paid weekly via PAYE, no umbrella hassle
• 1:1 support for a pupil with additional needs

What you’ll be doing:
You’ll be that steady, familiar face a child can rely on. The one who knows when to step in, when to give space, and how to turn a tricky moment into a positive one. From supporting learning to helping regulate emotions, your role will shape how that child experiences school each day.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience working with children or young people with SEND
• Confidence managing behaviour and building strong relationships
• A calm, patient approach, even when things don’t go to plan

• Weekly PAYE pay, simple and transparent
• FREE access to our CPD Academy
• Ongoing training, including Team Teach and Thrive
• A dedicated consultant who actually listens and supports
• A full-time role where you’re truly valued

You’re not “just” support staff. You’re the person who helps a child feel safe, understood, and capable, and that’s what makes all the difference.
