Tradewind Recruitment are looking for a caring, resilient and enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming specialist setting in Warrington.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to build strong experience within SEN and make a genuine difference to pupils with a range of complex learning, communication and additional needs.

You will work closely with teaching staff to support pupils throughout the school day, helping with learning, communication, independence, emotional regulation and everyday routines.

The role:

• Full-time SEN Teaching Assistant position
• Long-term opportunity
• Supportive specialist school environment
• Working with pupils with a range of complex needs
• Opportunity to develop valuable SEN experience
• Consistent work within the same setting and staff team

The most important qualities are patience, empathy, reliability, adaptability and a willingness to get involved.
