Job Description:

Are you a resilient and high-energy professional ready to support students in one of Peterborough's most dynamic specialist settings? We are seeking a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join our partner SEN School in Peterborough. This school is a specialist hub for pupils with a wide spectrum of needs, including Autism (ASC), Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges, and Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD). In this role, you will be more than a classroom aide; you will be a mentor, a co-regulator, and a steady influence for young people who need a tailored approach to reach their full potential.

Job Responsibility:

Dynamic 1:1 Intervention: Work closely with students who require high levels of engagement, using personalised interests to bridge the gap between them and the curriculum
De-escalation & Regulation: Utilise Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and de-escalation techniques to help students manage their emotions and remain in a 'ready to learn' state
Communication Support: Implement visual schedules, now-and-next boards, and basic Makaton to provide structure and clarity for students with processing delays
Academic Scaffolding: Assist the Class Teacher in breaking down complex tasks into manageable 'small steps,' celebrating every success along the way
Vocational & Life Skills: Support students during practical sessions and community visits, helping them develop the independence they need for life beyond the classroom
EHCP Contribution: Maintain clear, objective records of student progress and behavioural triggers to assist in Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) reviews

Requirements:

Resilient Emotional Intelligence
Proactive Engagement
Reliability & Commitment
Relevant Background: Experience in SEN, youth work, sports coaching, or the care sector is highly beneficial, but a 'can-do' attitude and a genuine passion for inclusion are essential
Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one urgently through Randstad)

What we offer:

Elite PAYE Rates: £95 - £100 per day
Peterborough Stability: Secure a consistent role in a school that offers a wealth of resources and a supportive, collaborative staff culture
Specialist CPD: Access our free, certified training suite, including Team Teach, Autism Awareness, and Safeguarding
Personalised Advocacy: Work with Neeraj, your dedicated consultant who understands the North Cambridgeshire and Peterborough education markets
Referral Rewards: Earn a £300 voucher for every friend or colleague you successfully refer who joins our team!
