Are you driven by the desire to make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of young people with Special Educational Needs? We are looking for resilient, empathetic, and dedicated SEN Teaching Assistants to join specialist educational teams across Crawley. This isn't just a "fill-in" role; we are looking for individuals who crave stability and want to build deep, meaningful bonds with their pupils.

  • Social Advocacy: Boosting pupils' independence and communication skills, helping them build confidence in social settings
  • Multidisciplinary Teamwork: Collaborating with Teachers, SENCOs, and external therapists to provide a holistic support network
  • Holistic Care: Assisting with personal care where necessary, always maintaining the dignity and wellbeing of the pupil

Requirements:

  • Proven Experience: A solid background in supporting pupils with SEN (Autism, ADHD, SEMH, or MLD) is essential
  • True Resilience: The ability to remain calm, patient, and nurturing, even during high-pressure moments
  • Commitment: A desire for a long-term, consistent position where you can become a vital part of the school family
  • Communication Skills: The ability to build instant rapport with children, colleagues, and parents
  • Qualifications: Ideally, a Level 2 or 3 TA qualification (or significant equivalent experience)

Nice to have:

  • ability to track progression in attainment
  • background in youth work
  • behaviour management
  • building relationships
  • classroom management
  • communication
  • de-escalation techniques
  • empathy
  • experience in administering medication
  • experience in managing challenging behaviour
  • experience with autism spectrum disorders
  • experience with learning difficulties
  • experience with social emotional mental health
  • inclusiveness
  • manual handling
  • marking
  • mentor experience
  • personal care experience
  • planning
  • resilience
  • restraint training
  • speech and language therapy experience
What we offer:
  • Competitive Rates: A reliable daily pay rate of £90.00 - £95.00
  • Professional Growth: Access to specialised SEN training and CPD opportunities within local schools
  • Work-Life Balance: Guaranteed Monday to Friday schedule, with all school holidays off
  • Purpose-Driven Work: The unique reward of witnessing a child's progress over an entire academic year
