Special Educational Needs (SEN) Teaching Assistant

Are you a resilient, empathetic, and experienced SEN professional looking to make a genuine difference in young people's lives? We are seeking a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join a vibrant Alternative Provision in Plymouth. This role is not your average classroom job. You will be supporting vulnerable pupils who have slipped through the cracks of mainstream education, many of whom display challenging behaviour, complex social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs, or trauma. You will work closely with teaching staff to re-engage these students, de-escalate challenging situations, and help them build the confidence they need to succeed. Because community access and off-site learning are big parts of this role, a full UK driving license is essential.
