SEN Teaching Assistants Required - Specialist Schools in Foxton
Are you a compassionate, resilient, and patient individual looking for a rewarding role in education? Whether you are seeking the ultimate flexibility of day-to-day supply or the consistency and stability of a long-term placement, we have opportunities to suit you. We are recruiting dedicated SEN Teaching Assistants for daily and long-term roles at specialist schools, alternative provisions, and resource bases in Foxton and the surrounding area. This role is ideal for experienced SEND professionals, support workers looking to transition into a school environment, or individuals with a genuine passion for supporting children with complex needs, including Autism (ASD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
Choose the Path that Suits You:
- Day-to-Day Supply: Take complete control of your schedule. Choose exactly which days you want to work to perfectly fit around your personal commitments, studies, or lifestyle.
- Long-Term Placements: Enjoy the stability of working within a consistent class team for a term or a full academic year. Get to know the pupils' specific routines, communication styles, and individual education plans (IEPs) while making a lasting impact.
What We Are Looking For:
- A patient, nurturing, and robust nature-specialist environments require high emotional resilience and a calm, reassuring demeanour.
- Previous experience supporting children or adults with additional needs (experience with non‑verbal communication, sensory processing, or de‑escalation strategies is highly valued).
- Excellent teamwork and communication skills to collaborate effectively with class teachers, therapists, and parents.
- An adaptable mindset, ready to step into different classrooms and quickly build a safe, positive rapport with pupils.
- A valid Enhanced DBS check registered on the Update Service (or a willingness to apply for one).
What Is in it for You?
- Competitive daily rates of pay, paid weekly into your account.
- Free access to specialist training modules to boost your CPD (such as safeguarding, introductory autism awareness, and behaviour management).
- A dedicated local consultant who understands the specialist education landscape in and around Foxton.
- A brilliant opportunity to trial different local provisions, which is a fantastic way to find your ideal fit if you are ultimately looking for a permanent contract in the future.
Ready to step into a role with real purpose? Help us create a supportive, inclusive environment where every child can thrive.
