Job Description:

As a Secondary SEND Teaching Assistant, you will provide essential support to students with a variety of needs, including Autism (ASD), ADHD, Dyslexia, and Social, Emotional & Mental Health (SEMH) challenges. In a secondary environment, your role is to help students bridge the gap between their primary education and adulthood, fostering independence while ensuring they can access a complex curriculum.

Job Responsibility:

  • Tailored Support: Implement Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and adapt learning materials to suit specific sensory or cognitive needs
  • Emotional Regulation: Use de-escalation techniques to support students who may become overwhelmed in a busy school environment
  • Inclusion Advocacy: Assist students in practical subjects and classroom settings to ensure they are fully included in school life
  • Progress Tracking: Work closely with the SENCO to monitor and record student milestones, providing feedback to parents and external professionals
  • Independence Building: Guide students in developing organizational skills and self-advocacy as they prepare for exams and future transitions

Requirements:

  • SEND Experience: Previous experience (professional or personal) with SEND is highly valued
  • Resilient Character: A calm, "unflappable" nature when faced with challenging behavior or complex emotional needs
  • Communication: Ability to use alternative communication methods (e.g., PECS or Visual Timetables) if required
  • Commitment: A desire to provide the stable, long-term support that SEND students rely on
  • Compliance: An Enhanced DBS on the update service (or willingness to apply for one) and right to work in the UK
What we offer:
  • Competitive Pay: High daily rates with reliable weekly pay
  • Expert Guidance: A dedicated consultant with expertise in the SEND sector
  • CPD Opportunities: Access to free training in Safeguarding, Team-Teach, and Autism Awareness
  • Supportive Environments: Work in schools that prioritize inclusive education and staff wellbeing
  • Referral Bonus: Earn £300 in vouchers for every friend you refer!
