Location:

Bishops Stortford

Salary:

£88.92 - £100 Per Day

Contract:

Fixed Term

Can you be the calm in a child's busy school day?

For a child with additional needs, the jump into primary school can be overwhelming. We are seeking a patient, creative, and nurturing

SEND Teaching Assistant

to join a friendly primary school in Tamworth. You will be the "go-to" person for a child (or small group) with needs such as

Autism (ASD)

Speech and Language delays

, or

Global Developmental Delay (GDD)

This is your chance to use play, patience, and visual aids to turn a "can't do" into a "can do."

What's in it for you?

The "Lightbulb" Moments:

Experience the pure joy of seeing a child finally master a skill they've been working on for weeks.

Work-Life Balance:

Enjoy primary school hours (typically 8:30 am - 3:30 pm) with no weekend or evening work.

Weekly Pay:

Competitive daily rates, strictly adhered to, and paid every Friday via Randstad.

Specialist Growth:

Gain hands-on experience with

EHCPs

PECS

(Picture Exchange Communication System), and sensory regulation techniques.

The Ideal "Nurturer"

We want to hear from you if you:

Are Naturally Patient:

You understand that primary-aged children need time, repetition, and a lot of encouragement.

Are Imaginative:

You can turn a sensory bin, a storybook, or a game into a powerful learning tool.

Have Experience:

Whether you've worked in a nursery, a school, or have personal experience with SEND, your empathy is what matters most.

Are a Team Player:

You can work closely with the Class Teacher and the

SENCO

to create a safe, inclusive space.

Your Core Responsibilities

1:1 Learning:

Provide tailored support during phonics, maths, and play-based activities to ensure the curriculum is accessible.

Sensory Support:

Use "Now & Next" boards and sensory breaks to help a child stay regulated and happy.

Social Development:

Help children learn how to play, share, and communicate with their peers during break times.

Care & Wellbeing:

Assist with personal care or mobility if required, ensuring the child feels dignified and safe.
