SEN Teaching Assistant

Protocol Education is currently recruiting for a full-time SEN Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming and supportive primary school in Ipswich.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about helping children thrive and wants to make a genuine difference in the lives of pupils with Special Educational Needs. The school is looking for a caring, enthusiastic and proactive individual who can build positive relationships, support learning, and help create an inclusive environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to succeed.

No two days are the same in this rewarding role. You'll be supporting children both inside and outside the classroom, helping them develop confidence, independence, social skills and a love of learning.

Your Responsibilities

Supporting pupils with a range of additional needs, including ASD, ADHD, SEMH and communication needs
Building strong, positive relationships with children and staff
Providing one-to-one and small-group support
Encouraging engagement, participation and confidence in lessons
Supporting emotional wellbeing and positive behaviour strategies
Working closely with teachers, SENCOs and parents to support pupil progress
Helping to create a nurturing, inclusive and engaging learning environment
Celebrating individual achievements and promoting independence

We're Looking For Someone Who Is:

Caring, patient and compassionate
Energetic and enthusiastic
Resilient and adaptable
A strong communicator and team player
Passionate about supporting children and young people
Committed to helping every child achieve their full potential
Positive, proactive and eager to learn

Desirable Experience

Previous school experience is welcomed but not essential. We would also love to hear from candidates with experience in:

Nurseries and Early Years settings
Youth clubs and community projects
Children's holiday clubs
Sports coaching
Mentoring young people
Residential childcare
Volunteering with children and young people
Scouts, Guides, Brownies or similar organisations
Supporting individuals with additional needs
Care, support work or community-based roles involving children
The school values transferable skills just as much as direct classroom experience. If you're passionate about supporting children's development and can bring a positive, nurturing approach, we'd encourage you to apply.

What You'll Gain

Valuable SEN and primary school experience
Ongoing training and professional development
The opportunity to work within a supportive and welcoming team
A rewarding role where you can make a lasting impact every day
Excellent experience for those considering careers in teaching, psychology, therapy, social care or education
If you're looking for a rewarding role where you can inspire, support and empower young learners, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and take the next step in your education career with Protocol Education.
