The Role & Impact
As a Primary SEN Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with classroom teachers and specialists to deliver meaningful educational outcomes. You won't just supervise tasks; you will build confidence, foster independence, and create a safe space for students to thrive.

Adapt Learning Materials: Adjust daily activities and learning resources to match specific learning styles and individual EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) goals.
Monitor & Track Progress: Observe student engagement and progress, providing insightful feedback to class teachers and SEN Coordinators (SENCO).
Manage Classroom Behaviour: Implement proactive behaviour management strategies tailored to individual SEN requirements to encourage positive learning.
Promote Independence: Help students develop crucial social, communication, and life skills to build confidence inside and outside the classroom.
Role Requirements

Strong communication and interpersonal skills with an approachable, empathetic nature.
Excellent adaptability, patience, and proactive problem-solving abilities.
An enhanced DBS check on the Update Service (or willingness to apply for one).
Nice-to-Haves (Desirable)
Relevant qualifications in Education, Early Years, or Specialist Support (e.g., Level 2/3 Teaching Assistant qualification).
