Be the calm in the storm—and the cheerleader every pupil needs
We’re working with a welcoming SEND school in Newcastle that’s all about helping children with profound and complex needs flourish. Think sensory support, individual learning journeys, and a team that truly values every voice.

Helping with sensory needs, communication tools, and emotional regulation
Assisting with physical care, routines, and creating a predictable, positive space
Helping students work towards their EHCP goals—and celebrating every step

A Level 2 TA qualification (or equivalent experience—we value all pathways)
SEND experience in school, care, or youth settings
A calm, caring nature and a can-do mindset
Someone who knows progress comes in all shapes and sizes

Weekly pay through PAYE—no umbrella costs or admin headaches
FREE CPD including Thrive training (seriously, if you haven’t done it yet—we’ll cover it!)
Support from a local SEND consultant who actually listens
Opportunities to grow in schools that appreciate every bit of what you bring
