This isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about changing a child’s day for the better.

We’re looking for a SEN Teaching Assistant to join a specialist school supporting pupils with autism and complex needs. The school is calm, well-run, and genuinely values its support staff.

The role includes:

• 1:1 and classroom-based SEN support

• Helping pupils regulate emotions and access learning

• Working as part of a tight-knit, supportive team

You don’t need to know everything already. You do need:

• A calm, consistent approach

• A genuine interest in SEN and child development

• Confidence to build strong relationships

Why work with us:

• Long-term stability

• Ongoing training and development

• Friendly consultants who have your back

Are you Thrive trained?
