A career working to support children in schools can be very rewarding and there is a growing need across the city for passionate, dedicated, and resilient individuals to work in secondary schools supporting pupils with special educational needs in SEN Teaching Assistant jobs.

SEN Teaching Assistant jobs often involve working on a one-to-one or small group basis supporting the pupils with their learning both in the full-class environment and out of class. The work will be planned by the class teacher and your role will be to guide and support your learner in achieving the tasks set.

You will need a kind and caring personality with patience and the ability to engage and keep the pupil on task throughout the day. This may also involve having breakout sessions with them tailored to their interests or ensuring they get regular breaks outside, but getting to know the child or children you are working with is very important.

In return, you’ll build wonderful relationships with the pupils and thrive on seeing them achieve new things, however big or small! A truly rewarding job knowing you are impacting their development daily.

Benefits of working in an SEN Teaching Assistant job:

1. Highly rewarding work.
2. Monday-Friday: consistent work.
3. The daily rate of pay depends on previous experience.
4. Occasionally, the opportunity to pick up extra hours supporting in before and after school clubs.
5. School holidays off work so fits well with family commitments.
6. Many schools look to develop staff, so it could be a good stepping stone to a career as a teacher.
7. Temporary and permanent jobs could be available.
8. Many temporary jobs often become permanent for the right candidates.

We are looking to appoint experienced SEN TAs, but we are also happy to speak to candidates who would be willing to undertake further training to open up opportunities to work in an SEN Teaching Assistant job.
