Description:

Robertsbridge, East Sussex | Academics Education Agency

Looking for a role where your patience, empathy and understanding can genuinely change a young person's day?

Academics are working with a specialist school near Robertsbridge to recruit a SEN Teaching Assistant to support pupils who need a little extra help to thrive, both in and out of the classroom.

This is an opportunity to work with young people with additional needs, helping them navigate the school day, develop their confidence and engage with learning in a way that works for them.

What will you be doing?

Providing one-to-one and small-group support to pupils with additional needs.

Helping pupils develop social skills, confidence and independence.

Supporting positive behaviour and emotional regulation.

Working closely with teachers to adapt activities and encourage engagement.

Creating a safe, consistent and encouraging environment where pupils feel understood.

Who would suit this role?

We're keen to hear from people who are patient, adaptable and genuinely interested in supporting young people. Previous experience in SEN, SEMH, care, youth work or behaviour support would be beneficial, but a positive attitude and a willingness to learn are equally important.

You will need to be able to build trust, remain calm when situations become challenging and recognise that progress looks different for every pupil.

Interested?
