Sen Teaching Assistant

Are you a natural mentor? Help a young person find their voice. Location: Chaldon, Surrey. Position: Permanent, Full-Time (Term Time Only). Pay: £13.51 - £14.45 per hour + £1,000 Welcome Bonus. The Role: More Than Just a Teaching Assistant. Many young people with Autism see the world differently. Sometimes, that world can feel overwhelming, frustrating, or inaccessible. We are looking for empathetic, patient, and resilient individuals to join our brand-new specialist school and act as the bridge between our students and their potential. In this role, you aren't just helping with schoolwork; you are a champion for young people aged 11-16 who need support with emotional regulation and social communication. You will be the person who stays calm when things get difficult and the first person to cheer when a student hits a personal milestone. Is this you? You don't need a background in education to be a fantastic Teaching Assistant. We are looking for people who: See the Person, Not the Label: You understand that 'behaviour' is often just communication. Are Calm Under Pressure: You can provide a steadying presence when a student is struggling. Are Naturally Curious: You like finding creative ways to engage someone who thinks differently. Want to Give Back: You are looking for a job that leaves you feeling like you've made a real impact at the end of the day. What We Offer You: We will give you all the tools you need to succeed, including: Total Support: You'll work in small classes with high staff-to-student ratios-you are never 'on your own.' Fully Funded Training: We will pay for your qualifications (like the L2 Supporting Teaching & Learning) while you work. Wellbeing First: 24/7 GP access, mental health support, and a comprehensive healthcare cash plan for you and your family. Financial Rewards: A £1,000 welcome bonus*, high street discounts, and a competitive pension. Ready to start a career with heart? If you have a 'can-do' attitude and a minimum of Grade C/Level 2 in GCSE English and Maths, we would love to talk to you.
