Looking for a role where your care and patience make all the difference?
We’re on the lookout for a brilliant SEND Teaching Assistant to join a lovely mainstream primary school that truly values support staff. You’ll be working closely with classroom teachers to give pupils with additional needs the attention, structure, and kindness they deserve.

-
Adjusting resources and routines so every child can access learning in a way that works for them

Cheering on progress (big or small) and helping pupils build confidence and independence
-
Being a go-to adult who stays calm, listens well, and champions inclusion every step of the way
What we’re looking for:
-
Someone with experience supporting children with SEND (Autism, ADHD, SEMH… or just needs a little extra)
-
A calm, steady presence who knows how to keep things positive, even on tricky days
-
A great communicator who builds trust with pupils, staff, and families
-
A real team player who’s in it for the kids, not just the job
Bonus points if you’ve got:
-
A Level 2 or 3 TA qualification
-
Thrive training (or fancy doing it—we offer it free!)
