Job Description

Looking for the Perfect Springboard for Your Psychology Career? If you are a Psychology graduate with classroom experience, you already know that theory is only half the story. If you're looking to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world clinical or educational practice, this is the role you've been waiting for. Our specialist independent school in Wilmslow supports up to 50 young people (aged 5-19) with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) and associated neurodivergent profiles. Having recently achieved "Outstanding" Ofsted ratings in Behaviour & Attitudes and Personal Development, we provide an environment where psychological principles are put into practice every single day. We are looking for a data-driven, empathetic, and insight-led SEN Teaching Assistant who wants to understand the why behind behaviour and make a tangible impact.

Job Responsibility

  • Behavioural Analysis & Support: Applying positive reinforcement and proactive strategies to promote positive behaviour and emotional regulation
  • Building Therapeutic Alliance: Creating the psychological safety and trust that our pupils need to access learning and develop independence
  • Tailoring Interventions: Collaborating with teachers and multidisciplinary ideas to adapt the curriculum to the unique cognitive and emotional needs of each pupil
  • Reflective Practice: Observing, understanding, and recording pupil progress to help shape their ongoing developmental journeys.

Requirements

  • Education: A background/degree in Psychology, Behavioural Science, or a related field, plus GCSEs in Maths and English (Grade C/4 or above).
  • Experience: Hands-on experience as a Teaching Assistant or working closely with SEN individuals (paid or voluntary).
  • Mindset: An analytical, compassionate, and child-focused approach. A strong foundation in safeguarding and child protection is vital.

Nice to have

  • Deep knowledge of ASD, SEMH, or specific learning difficulties
  • A Level 2+ qualification in Supporting Teaching and Learning
  • A full UK driving licence with access to a vehicle.

What we offer

  • Training and education
  • Safeguarding
  • Prevent
  • Referral Bonus
