Job description

Calling all SEND superheroes! ️️
Ready to lead a nurturing space where every child feels safe, supported, and ready to learn?

We’re looking for a skilled and compassionate Level 4 Teaching Assistant to run a dedicated SEND hub supporting eight wonderful children with EHCPs. This full-time role begins in September and offers the chance to truly change lives – every single day.

What you'll be doing:
You’ll be the heartbeat of the school’s SEND hub – a calm, structured space designed to help children feel secure and able to thrive. Supporting eight pupils with EHCPs, you’ll take the lead in creating a learning environment that celebrates progress, no matter how big or small.

Working alongside teachers, SENCOs, and specialists, you’ll:

• Plan and deliver personalised activities that meet each child’s needs

• Support behaviour, emotional regulation, and confidence building

• Promote positive relationships and help children develop social and life skills

• Adapt the curriculum into manageable, meaningful chunks

• Be a consistent, trusted adult that pupils can rely on every day

This is more than a classroom role – it’s a chance to make a deep, lasting impact in a close-knit setting where your efforts will be seen and valued.

What we’re looking for:
SEND experience is a must – you’ll understand the individual challenges and joys
Minimum of 2 years' experience in UK schools – you’ve got the foundations sorted
Curriculum confidence – you know your stuff and how to tailor it effectively
Leadership within the hub – you’re organised, calm, and unflappable

You won’t be applying to the school directly – you’ll join the supportive team at Protocol Education, where we match passionate educators with the right roles and provide ongoing care, communication, and community.
