Are you an inspirational educator looking to make a real-life impact?
We are seeking a resilient and enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistant to join our specialised EYFS SEN Hub at a thriving Academy in Blackpool. This is not just a "classroom assistant" role; it is an opportunity to be the literal bridge between a child's challenges and their breakthroughs.

Proactive Engagement: Staying "on your feet" in a high-energy, physically active EYFS environment.
Sensory & Communication: Utilising non-verbal cues and sensory triggers to maintain a calm, productive learning atmosphere.
What We Are Looking For (Requirements)
To succeed in this Blackpool-based Teaching Assistant role, you should possess:
Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant Qualification (Preferred).
SEN Specialisms: Experience with Makaton, PECS, or Visual Timetables is highly desirable.
Behavioural Expertise: Knowledge of de-escalation techniques and positive behaviour support.
EYFS Knowledge: A solid understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage and "small-step" progress tracking.
Reliability: Our pupils thrive on routine; we need a consistent, "can-do" professional who is ready to commit.
Why Join This EYFS Hub?
This Academy is renowned in the FY4 area for its inclusive ethos. You will join a supportive team that celebrates every victory, no matter how small. We offer a welcoming environment where your professional development in SEN is prioritised.
