Are you experienced in supporting children with learning disabilities or behaviour needs? Or are you keen to build a career in a supportive SEN setting?
GSL Education is seeking a committed SEN Teaching Assistant to join a specialist school in Durrington. The setting supports pupils aged 5–16 with a range of additional needs, including Autism, ADHD, Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), and behaviours that challenge.
About the Role:
This is a practical, hands-on support role where you’ll work closely with a small group of pupils, helping them engage with a tailored curriculum that focuses on communication, life skills, and emotional regulation.

Responsibilities:
Provide 1:1 or small group support for pupils with complex needs
Support communication using tools like PECS or Makaton
Use routines, visual schedules, and emotional regulation strategies
Promote independence, learning, and social interaction
Work closely with class teachers, therapists, and families
Assist with personal care or mobility support where needed (training provided)
Requirements:
Experience supporting children with SEND, particularly learning disabilities or behaviour needs
Calm, caring, and consistent approach
Understanding of safeguarding and willingness to undertake relevant training
Enhanced DBS registered to the Update Service (or willingness to apply)
What We Offer:
Daily rate of £90–£110
Ongoing support from a dedicated education consultant
Opportunities to grow your SEN expertise within a supportive team
Please be advised that this role requires a strong knowledge and understanding of safeguarding and child protection and that successful applicants must satisfy all background safer recruitment checks; including providing an enhanced DBS certificate registered on the update service, or completing an application for a new check.
