Job Description

SEN Teaching Assistant – Specialist School Evesham

Smile Education are currently recruiting for a dedicated and compassionate SEN Teaching Assistant to join a specialist school in the Evesham area.This is a full-time, long-term opportunity for someone who is passionate about supporting children and young people with additional needs and wants to make a genuine difference to their learning, development and independence.

The school is looking for a patient, resilient and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant who can build strong relationships with pupils and provide consistent, individualised support. This is a specialist all-age setting supporting pupils from early years through to sixth form. The school provides education for children and young people with a range of complex learning and additional needs, with every pupil having an EHCP.

The pupils have a range of moderate, severe and profound learning difficulties, alongside needs such as:

Autism
Complex communication needs
Speech and language difficulties
Physical disabilities
Sensory needs
Social, emotional and behavioural needs
Complex medical or personal care requirementsSome pupils require high levels of adult support throughout the school day, while others may need more targeted support with communication, learning, independence and social development. Communication can vary significantly between pupils and may include speech, signs, symbols, visual communication, objects of reference and AAC.

The successful Teaching Assistant will understand that progress can look very different in a specialist setting. Supporting a pupil to communicate a choice, engage in an activity, develop a new skill or become more independent can represent a significant achievement. Patience, consistency and the ability to celebrate small steps of progress are essential.

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with the class teacher and wider specialist team to support pupils throughout the school day.

Your responsibilities will include:

Supporting pupils on a 1:1, small-group and whole-class basis

Monitoring and celebrating pupil progress
Maintaining a safe, positive and nurturing environmentThe role can be varied from day to day and may involve supporting pupils with personal care, eating and drinking plans or other individual care requirements, depending on the needs of the class.
The Ideal CandidateThe school is looking for someone who is genuinely passionate about working with children and young people with additional needs.

You will ideally have:

Previous experience working with children, young people or vulnerable individuals

A patient, calm and nurturing approach

You will be joining an experienced team and will have the opportunity to develop your SEN knowledge through practical experience and specialist training. Most importantly, you will have the opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of children and young people, helping them develop their confidence, communication, independence and ability to engage with the world around them.
