Overview

We're thrilled to offer an exciting opportunity for a Full-time SEN Teaching Assistant to join a dedicated and supportive school community in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Our client - a forward-thinking, inclusive Alternative Provision - is looking for an enthusiastic professional to provide exceptional support to children and young people with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD).

About the Role

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you will be an essential part of the team, helping students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. You will provide tailored one-to-one and group support, adapting resources and strategies to meet each pupil's individual learning needs.

You’ll work closely with teachers, therapists, and support staff to create a positive and engaging environment where every child can achieve their potential. The role requires patience, empathy, and a genuine passion for helping young people overcome barriers to learning.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver individual support to pupils with diverse learning needs.
• Assist with lesson planning and delivery under the direction of the teacher.
• Help implement Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and behaviour management strategies.
• Promote positive behaviour, emotional regulation, and engagement in learning.
• Contribute to progress tracking and student development reports.
• Collaborate with colleagues and parents to support each child's ongoing growth.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Previous experience working with children or young people with Autism, ADHD, or Challenging Behaviour.
• Trained in Team Teach or PMVA (or willing to undertake training).
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build positive relationships.
• Resilient, patient, and committed to promoting inclusive education.
• Knowledge of safeguarding and child protection principles.

A qualification in education, childcare, or health and social care is desirable but not essential - passion, reliability, and the right attitude are equally valued.

What's on Offer

• Competitive pay rate: £17.00 per hour.
• Full-time hours during the school term, providing structure and consistency.
• Access to ongoing professional development and training (including Team Teach refreshers).
• The opportunity to work within a collaborative, supportive school team.
• A rewarding role where you can make a real and lasting impact on children's lives.

Desirable Skills

• Experience supporting students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD).
• Knowledge of positive behaviour support strategies.
• Familiarity with SEN frameworks and the national curriculum.
• Ability to adapt teaching materials for a range of learning styles and abilities.

About You

You're someone who genuinely enjoys working with young people and is committed to making education accessible for all. You bring energy, compassion, and creativity to your role, and you thrive in a team that shares your dedication to inclusion and student wellbeing.

How to Apply

If you're passionate about supporting children with Special Educational/Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD) needs and want to be part of an inclusive, caring school community, we'd love to hear from you.
