Job description

SEN Teaching Assistant - Long-Term Opportunity

Newquay Area | Full-Time | September Start

£92.63 - £95 per day | Term Time Only | Potential for Permanent Employment

Looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference every single day?

Teaching Personnel are recruiting for a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming primary school in the Newquay area from September.

This is a long-term opportunity within the same school, making it perfect for someone who enjoys building meaningful relationships and being a consistent, trusted adult in a child's school life.

Unlike day-to-day supply, this role offers stability, routine, and the chance to see the impact of your support over time.

Why This Role Stands Out

This role offers the opportunity to:

• Work consistently within the same school
• Build strong relationships with pupils and staff
• Support a child or small group on their learning journey
• Become part of a supportive school community
• Gain valuable SEN experience
• Potentially secure a permanent position

For the right person, this is much more than a temporary role.

About the Role

You will be supporting pupils with additional needs, which may include:

• Autism (ASC)
• Speech and language difficulties
• SEMH (Social, Emotional & Mental Health needs)
• Communication and interaction needs
• Learning difficulties

Your responsibilities may include:

• Providing 1:1 and small-group support
• Supporting emotional regulation and positive behaviour
• Encouraging independence and confidence
• Helping pupils access classroom learning
• Working closely with teachers and SENCOs
• Creating a calm, nurturing and structured environment

Who We're Looking For

This role would suit someone who is:

• Patient, resilient and caring
• Passionate about supporting children with additional needs
• Comfortable building positive relationships
• Calm under pressure and consistent in their approach
• Reliable and committed to making a difference

We'd particularly love to hear from:

• SEN Teaching Assistants
• Support Workers
• Care Professionals
• Youth Workers
• Behaviour Mentors
• Experienced Teaching Assistants looking for a long-term role

Experience is valuable, but attitude and commitment are equally important.

What You'll Need

• Experience working with children or young people
• A positive and proactive attitude
• Enhanced Childworkforce DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply)
• Right to work in the UK
• Strong references covering recent employment

Why Work with Teaching Personnel?

• Weekly PAYE pay
• Free CPD training including SEN, behaviour and safeguarding
• Dedicated local consultant support
• Long-term opportunities with potential permanent positions
• Easy booking and administration through the myTP app
• Schools that value consistency and quality support staff
