A warm, welcoming, and highly inclusive mainstream school in Surrey is looking to appoint a committed SEN Teaching Assistant to join its dedicated Inclusion team.

The school has a strong inclusive ethos and a well-established SEN provision supporting pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorder (Autism Spectrum Disorder), Severe Learning Difficulties (Severe Learning Difficulties), ADHD, and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, many of whom have EHCPs in place.

You will be working closely with class teachers, SENCOs, and the wider staff team to ensure pupils are fully included in school life and supported to achieve their full potential.

  * Working closely with class teachers to deliver adapted and differentiated learning activities

  * Supporting pupils on a 1:1 basis and in small groups where required

  * Helping pupils engage with learning through structured routines and personalised strategies

  * Supporting emotional regulation, behaviour, and social interaction throughout the school day

  * Using positive behaviour support strategies and de-escalation techniques when needed

  * Supporting communication development using visual aids, PECS, Makaton, and other strategies

  * Assisting pupils in accessing both academic learning and wider school activities (assemblies, playtime, trips, etc.)

  * Contributing to EHCP targets and supporting ongoing progress monitoring

  * Working collaboratively with SENCO, teachers, and external professionals (Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Educational Psychologists, CAMHS, etc.)

  * Promoting independence, confidence, and inclusion in all aspects of school life

  * Helping to create a safe, structured, and positive learning environment

About You

The school is looking for a caring, proactive, and reliable individual who enjoys working as part of a team and is passionate about supporting children with additional needs.

You will have:

  * Previous experience working with children with SEN in a school or educational setting (essential)

  * Experience supporting pupils with ASD, SLD, ADHD, or SEMH needs

  * A calm, patient, and consistent approach to behaviour and learning support

  * Confidence in supporting pupils with challenging behaviour in a positive and supportive way
