KS4 SEND Teaching Assistants | WolverhamptonJanuary 2027 Starts | Full-Time & Part-Time Opportunities
Some young people need more than classroom support. They need the right person in their corner.I'm looking for Teaching Assistants to support KS4 students with SEND across Wolverhampton from January 2027.These roles are about far more than helping with schoolwork. You could be working with young people who need additional support to stay engaged with education, manage their emotions, develop independence and prepare for their next steps beyond school.What could you be supporting?Depending on the setting and individual student, you could be working with young people with:
- Autism / ASC
- ADHD
- SEMH and behavioural needs
- Moderate or severe learning difficulties
- Communication needs
- Sensory needs
- Low confidence or anxiety around education
- Challenging behaviour or emotional regulation difficulties
You may be supporting students 1:1, within small groups or alongside the teacher in the classroom, helping them access learning while also encouraging them to become more independent.Who would suit these roles?I'm particularly interested in people who are calm, resilient, patient and able to build genuine relationships with teenagers.You don't necessarily need to have followed a traditional Teaching Assistant route.Your experience could have come from:
- Special schools or SEND provisions
- Secondary schools
- Alternative provision
- SEMH settings
- Youth work
- Residential childcare
- Care or support work
- Behaviour mentoring
- Sports coaching
What matters is having the ability to set boundaries, build trust and remain consistent, particularly when working with young people who may have found education difficult in the past.Full-Time & Part-Time Work AvailableI'm looking for people who want:
- Full-time, Monday to Friday work
- 2, 3 or 4 days per week
- Long-term placements
- 1:1 SEND support
- Flexible work across different settings
Looking for a change in January?If you're already supporting young people and want to move further into SEND education, or you're an experienced Teaching Assistant looking for your next KS4 role, I'd love to hear from you.I specialise in SEND and work with schools across Wolverhampton and the wider Black Country, so I'll talk to you properly about your experience, the needs you're confident supporting and the type of setting where you'll work best.January 2027 is approaching quickly, so let's start that conversation now.Get in touch to discuss KS4 SEND Teaching Assistant opportunities across Wolverhampton.And if you know someone who would be brilliant supporting KS4 SEND students, refer them to me and you could receive £250 in vouchers following a successful placement, subject to the referral scheme terms.
