Specialist Sen Teaching Assistant

Tired of the Mainstream Struggle? Bring Your SEN Expertise to a Setting That Actually Works. Location: Cranleigh. Setting: 23-Acre Specialist Trust. Role: Specialist SEN Teaching Assistant. If you are an experienced Teaching Assistant, you know the frustration of having the skills but not the resources to help a child succeed. At our Specialist Trust in Cranleigh, we've eliminated the 'mainstream' barriers. We don't just 'cope' with complex needs; we provide a sophisticated, low-arousal environment where neurodivergent learners-and the staff who support them-actually thrive. Why Experienced TAs are Joining Us: Small Ratios, Big Impact: Move away from overcrowded classrooms. Work in a dedicated environment designed specifically for Autism and SLCN. A Clinical Partnership: You aren't 'just a TA.' You'll work as a professional peer alongside our on-site Speech & Language and Occupational Therapists. The 'Dream' Campus: Utilise our incredible 23-acre site. If a student needs forest school, community life-skills, or space to de-compress, you have it right at your fingertips. Professional Respect: We provide the stability, advanced CPD, and leadership pathways that veteran SEN staff deserve. What You Bring to the Team: We are looking for the 'Steady Hand'-the practitioner who 'gets it.' The Toolkit: Proven experience with ASC, SLCN, or SEMH. The Language: Proficiency in (or a desire to lead in) Makaton, PECS, or AAC. The Mindset: You understand that boundaries and rapport are the keys to every breakthrough.
