Are you passionate about supporting young people with additional needs to succeed in education? Long Term Futures is working with a welcoming secondary school in Dudley to recruit a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on making a difference and is committed to helping learners overcome barriers to their education.

You'll be working within mainstream classrooms as well as supporting on a 1:1 basis, helping students with a range of needs including autism, ADHD, social and emotional challenges, and other learning difficulties.

• A patient, adaptable, and empathetic approach

• Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust quickly with students

• Confidence in supporting behaviour management and promoting positive engagement

• A Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant qualification is helpful but not essential - attitude and commitment are most important

Why Work with Long Term Futures?

• Competitive weekly pay through PAYE - no umbrella deductions

• Opportunities across a wide network of schools in the Midlands

• Ongoing CPD and free training to help you grow your skills

• Personalised support from an SEN-focused consultant

• Clear pathways into long-term and permanent positions
