SEND Teaching Assistant

SEND Teaching Assistant

Location: NG17, Nottinghamshire
Daily Rate: £85 - £95 per day
Contract: Full time, term time only
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30am - 3:30pm
Start Date: September 2025

We are working with a welcoming and inclusive primary school in the NG17 area to recruit a compassionate and experienced SEND Teaching Assistant to support pupils across EYFS, KS1 and KS2 from September.

This full-time, term-time only position is ideal for someone passionate about making a difference in children's lives-supporting them both academically and emotionally. You'll be working closely with the class teacher, SENCO, and external professionals to deliver personalised interventions, both 1:1 and in small groups.

The school is looking for someone who:

• Has proven experience supporting pupils with SEND, including those with complex or SEMH needs
• Understands how to adapt learning and use intervention strategies to support individual progress
• Has excellent communication skills and can build strong, purposeful relationships with pupils, staff, and families
• Is patient, consistent, and committed to inclusion and pupil wellbeing
• Works effectively with colleagues and external agencies to implement and track individual plans
• Has strong numeracy and literacy skills, and an understanding of the primary curriculum

Experience with interventions such as ELSA, or Drawing & Talking would be a real advantage-but not essential.

What you'll get in return:

• A supportive and forward-thinking school with a strong team ethos
• Well-resourced classrooms and access to CPD opportunities
• Hard-working, enthusiastic pupils who enjoy learning
• Daily support from a highly experienced SEND team and SLT
• Ongoing support from Long Term Futures throughout your placement

This is a fantastic opportunity for a dedicated and resilient SEND TA looking to build long-term relationships in a nurturing school setting. If you have the experience, empathy, and energy to make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.

To apply, send us your CV and we'll be in touch. All applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to complete an enhanced DBS check and provide suitable references.
