We are searching for a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join a vibrant specialist SEN School in Soham. This is a full-time, long-term opportunity to work within a purpose-built environment supporting children and young people with complex needs, including Autism (ASC), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), and sensory processing challenges.

Job Responsibility:

  • Bespoke 1:1 Support: Execute tailored learning activities that focus on the specific cognitive, sensory, and emotional goals of your assigned student
  • Communication Facilitation: Help students find their voice through the use of Makaton, PECS, or visual choice boards, ensuring their needs are always understood
  • Sensory Co-Regulation: Monitor environmental triggers and implement heavy work or sensory breaks to help students stay regulated and ready to learn
  • EHCP Milestone Recording: Assist the Class Teacher in tracking the small-step progress that forms the foundation of Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) reviews
  • Compassionate Care: Provide essential support with mobility, meal times, and personal hygiene, ensuring every student is treated with the highest level of dignity and respect
  • Classroom Synergy: Work as a proactive member of a tight-knit team, maintaining a predictable and nurturing environment for all learners

Requirements:

  • Resilient Empathy: The ability to remain a calm anchor for students during periods of high pressure or challenging behaviour
  • Proactive Intuition: A can-do mindset-you see where support is needed and act before a challenge escalates
  • Dependability: A consistent professional who will be a steady, reliable figure in their school life
  • Transferable Skills: Backgrounds in support work, psychology, care, or youth mentoring are highly valued
  • Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process one through Randstad)

Nice to have:

  • Competitive PAYE Rates: £90 - £95 per day
  • Soham Stability: Secure a consistent, full-time role in a school that values staff development and student-centred care
  • Specialist CPD: Access our free, certified training suite, including Team Teach, Autism Awareness, and Safeguarding
  • Personalised Support: Work with Neeraj, your dedicated consultant who understands the East Cambridgeshire SEN landscape
