Job Description:

SEN Teaching Assistant - Lingfield. Are you passionate about turning 'disability' into 'possibility'? At Randstad Education, we believe that every child deserves a champion-someone who understands that 'special needs' simply means finding a different way to succeed. We are currently recruiting for a welcoming and inclusive school in Lingfield looking for a confident, committed, and empathetic SEN Teaching Assistant to join their dedicated support team. If you are a firm believer that behavior is communication and you have the patience to find the 'root cause' behind the challenge, this is the role for you.

Job Responsibility:

1:1 & Small Group Support: Tailoring your approach to meet the specific sensory and academic needs of pupils
Diverse Needs Specialist: Supporting children with ASC (Autism), ADHD, SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health), and Speech & Language requirements
EHCP Implementation: Bringing Education, Health and Care Plans to life by turning formal targets into creative, achievable classroom wins
Co-Regulation & Support: Assisting with behavior management by staying calm in the storm and helping children return to a 'ready to learn' state
Collaborative Practice: Working as the 'right hand' to the Class Teacher and SENCo to ensure a seamless, safe, and tidy learning environment

Requirements:

Proven SEN Experience: Essential school-based experience supporting neurodivergent learners
The 'Investigative' Mindset: A strong understanding of autism and the ability to recognize triggers before they escalate
Proactive Patience: A calm, steady presence-someone who uses a 'firm but gentle' voice and avoids the need for shouting
Communication Tools: Experience with Makaton, PECS, or visual timetables is a massive advantage
DBS: An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply for one)

What we offer:

Supportive Community: Join a school environment that values its staff as much as its students
Growth Opportunities: Potential for long-term placements and ongoing professional development
Competitive Pay: Enjoy daily rates that reflect your specialized skills and experience
Dedicated Consultant: You'll have a specialist consultant to support you throughout your placement journey
