Job Description:

Are you a seasoned SEN professional who can read a classroom's energy before a single word is spoken? We are seeking an expert SEN Teaching Assistant for a high-standard SEN School in King's Lynn. Unlike entry-level roles, this position requires mandatory SEN experience-someone who brings a proven toolkit of de-escalation strategies, communication aids, and a deep understanding of neurodiverse profiles. If you are looking for a setting that values your years of expertise and offers a platform for further professional growth, this is the role for you.

Job Responsibility:

Complex Case Support: Provide high-level 1:1 intervention for students with complex needs, including those with non-verbal Autism (ASC), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), and associated sensory challenges
Communication Mastery: Lead sessions using Makaton, PECS, and high-tech AAC devices, ensuring that communication is woven into every aspect of the school day
Behavioural Excellence: Utilise your experience in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) to identify triggers and implement regulation strategies before a crisis occurs
Academic Scaffolding: Work with the Class Teacher to adapt curriculum materials on the fly, ensuring that 'small-step' learning is both challenging and achievable
Mentorship & Leadership: Act as a role model for less experienced staff, demonstrating best practices in student engagement and classroom safety
Professional Reporting: Provide detailed observations for EHCP reviews and multidisciplinary meetings, offering insights into student progress and wellbeing

Requirements:

Proven SEN Experience (Mandatory): Minimum of 1-2 years working within a SEN School or a dedicated SEN unit
Technical Proficiency: Demonstrated experience with Team Teach (or equivalent de-escalation training), sensory diets, and structured teaching frameworks like TEACCH
Resilient Emotional Intelligence: The ability to remain a calm, co-regulating presence during periods of high student dysregulation
Specialist Knowledge: A deep understanding of the sensory and cognitive profiles associated with ASC, SLD, or PMLD
Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process one urgently through Randstad)

What we offer:

E-learning modules
Top-Tier PAYE Rates: £95 - £100 per day
King's Lynn Stability: Secure a long-term, full-time placement in a school that prides itself on its 'Outstanding' facilities and supportive leadership
Advanced CPD: Access free, certified training to keep your skills sharp, including Moving and Handling, Advanced Safeguarding, and Autism Level 2
Personal Advocacy: Work with Neeraj, your dedicated consultant who understands the Norfolk SEN landscape and respects your professional expertise
