We're working with a mainstream primary school in Smethwick to find a compassionate and reliable SEN Teaching Assistant to provide 1:1 support for pupils with additional needs.

You'll work closely with a pupil who requires tailored, consistent support throughout the school day. This role is ideal for someone who thrives when making a direct impact and building meaningful relationships with children who need that extra bit of care.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide 1:1 support for a pupil with SEN, including autism and/or speech & language needs
  • Support learning across all subjects, adapting materials to suit individual needs
  • Help with emotional regulation and social development
  • Liaise with the class teacher and SENCO to monitor progress and adjust support strategies
  • Ensure the pupil feels included, safe, and encouraged every day

  • Experience supporting children with SEN in a school or similar setting
  • Confident working 1:1 with pupils with additional needs
  • Patient, calm, and empathetic approach to learning and behaviour
  • Able to follow direction while also using initiative

Why Work with Long Term Futures?

  • Long-term, stable work with the potential for a permanent role.
  • No day-to-day supply - full-time consistency in one school.
  • A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your placement.
  • Trial days instead of formal interviews to ensure the right fit.
  • Access to free CPD training, including Understanding Autism, Behaviour Management, and further professional development/refreshers.

Next Steps - Our 4-Step Process

  1. Apply - Submit your CV via the application page.
  2. Initial Call - Our team will discuss your experience and preferences.
  3. Trial Day - Experience the school before making a decision.
  4. Start Work - If the school is the right fit, you're ready to begin.

All applicants will need a valid DBS and two references to be considered for a trial day.
