Job Description:

Are you a creative, outside-the-box thinker who can adapt to the unique needs of every student? We are looking for a SEN Teaching Assistant to join a dedicated SEN School in Thetford.

Assist students with sensory processing needs by managing their environment and utilizing sensory breaks
Work 1:1 to break down the curriculum into manageable, achievable chunks
Act as a calm, de-escalating presence, using restorative practice to help students understand their emotions and develop better coping strategies
Guide pupils through practical tasks that build their confidence for life outside the classroom-from social skills to personal organisation

Requirements:

Hold a Child DBS on the Update Service (or be willing to apply for one through Randstad)
The Empathetic Professional who understands that behavior is communication
The Reliable Anchor committed to consistency
The Skill-Seeker eager to learn new specialist techniques and interventions
Whether you have years of experience or a background in psychology/care
