We are seeking a Special Educational Needs (SEN) Teaching Assistant to join a warm and inclusive school community in Burwell. This full-time role is perfect for someone who understands that "standard" teaching doesn't reach every child and is eager to provide the bespoke, one-to-one support that allows students with Autism (ASC) and Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD) to thrive.
Job Responsibility:
Academic Scaffolding: Work closely with the class teacher to simplify complex instructions and break down lessons into manageable, bite-sized tasks
Regulation Support: Identify early signs of sensory overload or emotional distress, using "brain breaks" and calming strategies to help students stay regulated
Communication Bridging: Facilitate social interactions and learning using visual aids, Now and Next boards, and simplified language to ensure clarity and reduce anxiety
Milestone Monitoring: Keep accurate, empathetic records of student progress toward their EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) goals, ensuring every small win is documented
Safe Haven Creation: Help maintain a structured, predictable classroom environment where students feel safe to express themselves and take risks with their learning
Requirements:
Emotional Resilience: The ability to remain a calm, stabilising force in a fast-paced environment
A Learner's Mindset: You are eager to learn about specific conditions and adopt the latest specialist techniques in SEN support
Reliability: Students with additional needs thrive on consistency
we need someone who will be a dependable fixture in their school week
Relevant Background: Experience in youth work, care, or education is beneficial, but a genuine "child-first" attitude is your most important asset
Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to obtain one)
What we offer:
Competitive Weekly Pay: £90 - £95 per day through a transparent PAYE system
Local Focus: Work in a supportive school right in the heart of Burwell
Free Specialist Training: Access courses in De-escalation, Autism Awareness, and Safeguarding via our premium CPD platform
