Do you have a passion for supporting children with additional needs? Are you looking for a rewarding role where no two days are the same and every achievement is worth celebrating?
Teaching Personnel, the UK's leading education recruitment agency, is recruiting SEN Teaching Assistants to support specialist schools and alternative provisions.
Whether you're an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant, a care or support worker looking to transition into education, or simply someone with the passion and resilience to make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, and as an SEN Teaching Assistant, you'll play a vital role in helping them reach their full potential.
From supporting a pupil to communicate their needs for the first time to helping a young person build confidence and independence, your encouragement can have a lifelong impact.

- Supporting pupils with emotional regulation and positive behaviour strategies.
- Assisting with learning activities tailored to individual needs.
- Helping to create a safe, nurturing and engaging learning environment.
- Celebrating every success-big or small.
We're looking for caring, patient and enthusiastic individuals who are committed to making a positive difference.
Ideally, you'll have:
- Experience supporting children or vulnerable adults (education, care, residential or healthcare settings).
- A positive, adaptable and proactive approach.
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
- A genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs.
No school experience? No problem! If you have transferable skills from care, support work, youth work or similar roles, we'd love to hear from you.
