Could your experience and encouragement help a child feel more confident at school? Hays Education is partnering with welcoming primary schools across Edgbaston (B15) to recruit SEN Teaching Assistants and 1:1 Support Assistants for September 2026. These schools are looking for dependable people who can offer consistent, individual support and help pupils enjoy positive experiences in the classroom. Whether you already have school-based SEN experience or have supported children in another setting, this could be a great next step in a genuinely rewarding career.
Your new role may involve working closely with one pupil, supporting a small intervention group or helping children access learning within the wider classroom. Responsibilities may include:
- Building a trusting and consistent relationship with a pupil who has additional needs
- Adapting activities for children with Autism (ASD), ADHD, speech and language needs or other learning needs
- Using agreed strategies to encourage engagement and positive behaviour
- Helping pupils develop independence, communication and confidence
- Sharing observations and progress with teachers, SENCOs and other professionals
- Contributing to a calm, safe and inclusive classroom
There are full-time and part-time positions available, including longer-term placements across the academic year.
What you'll need to succeed:
- Have supported children or young people with additional needs in a school, care, nursery or community setting
- Bring patience, empathy and a calm approach to their work
- Can build positive relationships while maintaining clear boundaries
- Are comfortable following individual support plans and guidance from school staff
- Want to help every pupil feel included and able to succeed
- Hold a relevant qualification, although this is desirable rather than essential
Additional experience with personal care, behaviour support, Makaton, PECS, Team Teach or similar approaches would be welcomed.
What you'll get in return:
- Competitive rates of pay
- A dedicated local consultant with more than 10 years of school-based experience
- Free CPD and training focused on SEN support
- Access to full-time and part-time roles in local, supportive schools
- Regular guidance before and throughout your placement
- Long-term opportunities, with the potential for permanent work
Bring your patience, positivity and experience to a school that will value the difference you make.
