Job description

SEN Teaching Assistant - Doncaster
Looking for flexible or long-term work in SEN schools? Become an SEN Teaching Assistant with Academics and enjoy a career where you're supported, valued, and in control.

We're proud to place SEN Teaching Assistants in schools across Doncaster, with both supply and long-term contracts available. Daily rates of £88-£110 (paid PAYE, never via umbrella) mean you keep more of what you earn.

Why join Academics as an SEN Teaching Assistant?

All consultants are ex-teachers - we understand the challenges and support you every step.
A core group of schools just for you - work in familiar settings and build real relationships.
No outside-of-class pressures - no planning, marking, meetings or data tracking.
Try different schools risk-free - if a role isn't right, we'll find one that is.
Long-term contracts available after Easter - plenty of opportunities to grow.

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you will:

• Support children with autism, ADHD, SEMH, and learning difficulties.
• Help pupils 1:1, in small groups, or across classes.
• Foster confidence and independence in every child you work with.
• Work alongside SENCOs, teachers, and therapists to meet individual needs.

We know how overwhelming teaching can feel. That's why, as an SEN Teaching Assistant with Academics, you'll enjoy teaching without the extra pressures. Forget endless planning, marking, performance management, or Ofsted prep. Just focus on what you love-supporting children.

Plus, we've helped many educators fall back in love with their work by giving them choice, flexibility, and support. If you accept a role and it's not the right fit, we'll move you to a setting where you're happier. With us, you're never stuck.

Benefits of being an SEN Teaching Assistant with Academics:

• Flexible work around your life.
• A small network of schools so you're not "the new face" every day.
• A supportive consultant who knows the classroom.
• Competitive pay (£88-£110 per day, PAYE only).
• No planning, marking or data responsibilities.
• Long-term and permanent roles available.
• A team that listens and puts you first.
