Do you have the patience to understand a child's world, the compassion to help them overcome challenges, and the enthusiasm to celebrate every little victory?

We're looking for dedicated, nurturing and adaptable SEN assistnats to support primary schools across Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding areas on a full time supply basis.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to make a genuine difference in the lives of children with special educational needs while gaining experience across a variety of primary school settings.

Whether you have experience supporting children with autism, ADHD, speech and language difficulties, sensory needs or social, emotional and mental health needs, we want to hear from you!

• Support emotional wellbeing: Help children regulate their emotions, develop confidence and navigate social situations.

• Celebrate progress: Recognise achievements, big and small, and encourage pupils to become more independent.

• Work as part of a team: Collaborate with teachers, SENCOs and other support staff to create an inclusive learning environment.

• Embrace variety: Adapt to different classrooms, school routines and pupil needs as you work across local primary schools.

We're looking for someone who brings more than experience to the classroom. We want someone who genuinely cares.

You will ideally have:

• Experience supporting children with SEN in a school, nursery, care or similar setting.
• A patient, calm and compassionate approach, particularly when children are experiencing difficulties.
• The confidence to adapt your approach to meet different communication, behavioural and learning needs.
