Description:
SEN Teaching Assistant
Academics are working with a number of specialist schools across Canterbury, and we are looking for enthusiastic and dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join our network of schools.
Our client schools support pupils with a wide range of needs, including Autism (ASC), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH), ADHD, communication and interaction needs, and complex learning needs. This means there are opportunities to work in a variety of settings and gain valuable experience across different areas of SEN.
As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you will play an important role in helping pupils access their education and reach their potential. You may provide 1:1 support, work with small groups or support pupils within the wider classroom, working closely with teachers and other professionals to provide the right level of support for each individual.
We are looking for people who are patient, resilient and adaptable, with the ability to build positive and trusting relationships with children and young people. Previous SEN experience is highly desirable, but it isn't essential. We would also love to hear from candidates with backgrounds in education, youth work, care, sports coaching, mentoring or support work who are looking to develop their career within SEN.
In return, you will have the opportunity to gain valuable experience within specialist education, develop your understanding of different SEN needs and make a genuine difference to the lives of the pupils you support.

Experience working with children or young people is desirable
SEN experience is advantageous, but not essential

Strong communication and relationship-building skills
