ASAP Start

Do you have a background in SEND, care work or youth work? Are you an aspiring therapist or Psychology Graduate? Are you someone looking for a meaningful role, where you can work directly with children and young people with complex needs and mobility difficulties? 

Then we want to hear from you!

This is more than just a job—it’s an opportunity to be part of something meaningful.

We are looking for a passionate and dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join an exceptional team in a specialist environment. If you have a background in Health and Social Care, SEND, Early Years, or Primary education, or if you have personal experience supporting someone with SEN within your family or friendship circle, this is the perfect role for you! Your ability to bring compassion, patience, and creativity to every interaction will be highly valued, as you’ll be supporting students with a range of complex needs in a supportive, nurturing setting.

The children you will work with are full of potential, and it’s your role to help them unlock it. You’ll be engaging with students through play-based learning, creative activities, and sensory play, providing the individual support they need to thrive. No two days will ever be the same—whether you’re helping with hydrotherapy swimming sessions, assisting with personal care, or guiding children through learning activities, your day will be full of purpose and positivity.

What makes this role special is that it’s not just about supporting the children academically—it’s about helping them build confidence, independence, and resilience in a setting where they feel safe and valued. You’ll be part of a close-knit, collaborative team, working together to ensure every child has the best possible experience at school. The environment is creative, inclusive, and designed to make every child feel at home, no matter their challenges.

If you’re someone who thrives in an environment where your work truly matters, where every child’s journey is celebrated, and where your efforts will be appreciated every day, then this is the role for you. You’ll receive training and support to help you develop your skills, especially if you’re new to working in specialist education.

With weekly pay, a competitive daily rate, and a long-term to permanent opportunity, this is the perfect chance to build a meaningful career in SEN education.
