SEN Teaching Assistant

The school is a specialist setting for students with a range of complex and profound learning needs, including severe autism, physical disabilities, and sensory impairments. They are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment where every child can thrive through personalized education and care.

It is desirable if you drive, due to the schools location in Ash Green.

Responsibilities:

• Work closely with teachers to support children with severe and complex needs, including those with physical, emotional, and learning disabilities.
• Assist in delivering tailored learning plans, sensory activities, and therapeutic interventions.
• Provide one-on-one support where necessary to ensure the safety, well-being, and educational development of each student.
• Foster an environment that promotes independence, communication, and positive behaviour.
• Help with personal care tasks such as feeding, changing, and mobility assistance, as required.
• Maintain accurate records of student progress and contribute to assessments and reviews.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience working with children or young people with special educational needs is desirable but not essential; training will be provided.
• A caring, patient, and resilient attitude with a commitment to supporting students’ physical and emotional well-being.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills to collaborate effectively with staff, therapists, and families.
• Ability to adapt quickly and respond to the individual needs of each student in a flexible and proactive manner.
