⭐About the Role
Teaching Personnel is seeking a resilient, empathetic, and committed Unqualified SEN Teaching Assistant to provide focused 1:1 or group support for children aged 3-19 with a range of disabilities, Special Educational Needs (SEN), and Additional Learning Needs (ALN).

This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who wants to make a genuine difference in a young person’s life!

  * Relevant qualifications or studies are desirable, including SEN, Childcare, Education, Psychology, Health & Social Care, Youth Work, or similar subjects.
  * Resilient, patient and understanding attitude
  * Support pupils with personal care, mobility, and sensory needs where required.
  * Ability to deliver consistent 1:1 and small group support during lessons and daily activities tailored to individual pupil need
  * The ability to implement strategies to manage and de-escalate behaviour effectively
  * A commitment to encouraging the pupil’s engagement, confidence, and emotional development
  * Dedication to fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment
