£95 - £105 per day
Knutsford, Cheshire
1:1 SEN Support | Non-Verbal Autism | Full-Time | September Start
Astro Education is working in partnership with a highly supportive primary school near Knutsford to recruit a compassionate and resilient SEN Teaching Assistant for a full-time position starting in September.
This rewarding role involves providing dedicated 1:1 support to a pupil with non-verbal autism, helping them access learning, develop communication skills, and navigate their school day successfully.
About the School
The school has an excellent reputation for inclusion and pupil support. Staff work collaboratively to ensure children with additional needs receive the highest standard of care and education. You will be joining an experienced team who will provide ongoing guidance and support throughout your placement.
About the Role
You will work closely with the class teacher, SENCO, and wider support staff to provide tailored support for a pupil with complex needs.
The role will involve:
* Providing consistent 1:1 support throughout the school day
* Supporting communication, engagement, and emotional regulation
* Assisting with personal care, including nappy changing when required
* Implementing strategies to manage challenging behaviours
* Promoting independence and positive learning experiences
While the pupil can occasionally display behaviours that challenge, the school has strong systems and experienced staff in place to support both the child and the successful candidate.
What We're Looking For
Successful candidates will:
* Have experience supporting children with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
* Be calm, patient, and resilient in challenging situations
* Have experience working within SEN settings or supporting children with additional needs
