Be the calm in someone’s day.
We’re looking for a caring, patient, and resilient SEN Teaching Assistant to join a specialist setting in BD9. You’ll be working closely with pupils aged 3–19 who have autism and severe learning difficulties, helping them feel safe, supported, and understood.

What you’ll be doing:
Providing 1:1 and small group support to pupils with complex needs
Assisting with personal care, sensory support, and structured routines
Using communication tools (e.g. PECS, Makaton) to aid understanding
Collaborating with teachers, therapists, and support teams
✨ What we’re looking for:
Experience working with children or adults with SEND, especially autism or SLD
A calm, consistent approach—even when things get tough
Empathy, patience, and a good sense of humour
Understanding of sensory needs and communication strategies (or a willingness to learn!)
What you get from us:
Weekly pay through PAYE—no hidden deductions
Specialist SEN consultant support (based locally in Bradford)
FREE Thrive and autism-specific CPD training
Long-term roles where your work really matters
Access to brilliant SEND schools across the city
If you’re steady, compassionate, and ready to make a difference—BD9 is calling.
