Long-Term SEN Teaching Assistant Roles in Coventry Special Schools
Some pupils need a little more time to work out why a moment feels hard. If you’ve studied psychology and you’re curious about the reasons behind behaviour, this is where your degree gets used every day. We’re looking for SEN Teaching Assistants to work in specialist schools and provisions in around Coventry in full-time and long-term roles.
Responsibilities
* Support pupils with a range of additional needs, including autism, SEMH and communication difficulties, 1:1 and in small groups
* Carry out learning plans, routines and behaviour strategies set by teachers and the SENCO
* Notice patterns in pupils’ behaviour and share them with the class team so strategies can be adjusted
* Help pupils with communication, regulation and independence through the school day
* Keep classroom routines calm and predictable, from morning arrivals to quiet-corner breaks
* Record progress and give clear feedback to teachers and therapy staff
* Build steady, trusting relationships with pupils over time
Requirements
* A degree in Psychology or Child Psychology or Level 3 Certificate in Supporting Teaching and Learning
* Recent experience as a Teaching Assistant in a special school
* Good understanding of needs such as autism, ADHD, SEMH and speech and language difficulties
* A clear, confident communicator with colleagues and families
* Calm and patient, including on the harder days
* Able to commit to a full-time, long-term placement
* An Enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one
What we offer
