Job Description

As a day-to-day supply SEN TA, your core focus will be to step in and support specific children 1:1 who require extra assistance with their learning, communication, or emotional needs. You will quickly adapt to the pupil's routine, helping them access the mainstream curriculum and follow their tailored learning plans. Working on a supply basis requires a proactive approach, as you will collaborate on the day with class teachers and the school's Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) to ensure the pupil feels secure, included, and supported throughout the school day.

Job Responsibility

  • Provide tailored 1:1 support to specific pupils during lessons, breaks, and transition periods
  • Adapt classroom activities on the spot to suit the pupil's specific learning, communication, or behavioural needs
  • Assist with emotional regulation and help the pupil navigate social situations in a mainstream environment
  • Maintain strong communication with the classroom teacher to provide feedback on the pupil's progress
  • Uphold school policies regarding safeguarding, inclusion, and behaviour management

Requirements

  • Previous experience working 1:1 or in small groups with primary-aged children with SEN (e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorder / ASD, ADHD, Speech and Language difficulties, or SEMH)
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, confidently step into new classrooms, and build quick rapport with pupils
  • Excellent communication skills and a proactive, positive attitude
  • Relevant qualifications in supporting teaching and learning (Level 2/3 NVQ) or special educational needs are desirable, but relevant experience is highly valued
  • Must possess an enhanced DBS check on the Update Service (or be willing to process a new one through Randstad)

What we offer

  • Flexibility: Choose the days you want to work to fit around your personal schedule
  • Competitive Daily Rates: High daily rates paid weekly via PAYE
  • Variety of Experience: Gain invaluable experience across different mainstream primary schools and age groups in the Plymouth area
  • Dedicated Consultant: Support from a specialised education recruitment team
