Hours: Term time only About the role Transparency Education is seeking an experienced SEND Teaching Assistant to support an academically able Year 4 pupil who is particularly strong in maths.

The pupil engages well with learning when emotionally regulated but needs consistent support with emotional regulation and behaviour.

During dysregulation, behaviours may include climbing, hiding, throwing objects, vocalising and attempting to leave the classroom.

This rewarding role suits a calm, resilient professional who understands behaviour as communication and can balance compassionate support with clear boundaries.

Build a trusting relationship and recognise triggers and early signs of escalation.

Use regulation and de-escalation strategies, responding confidently to behaviour that may present a safety risk.

Support academic progress and engagement, building on the pupil's strengths.

Work closely with the class teacher and SEND team to maintain a consistent approach.

Strong experience supporting complex SEND, emotional dysregulation and challenging behaviour.

A calm, patient and confident approach, with strong communication skills.

GCSEs in English and Maths, or equivalent, as a minimum.

A genuine commitment to helping children feel safe, regulated and successful.

Transparency Education is a widely recognised education recruitment company, offering excellent customer service and professional development for teachers and support staff.

Your own dedicated consultant for ongoing support and guidance.

A ‘refer a friend' scheme paying £150 for each candidate you refer once they have worked and been paid for their first 10 days.

Pay in line with the Agency Worker Regulations (AWR), meaning equal pay to a permanent employee.

Access to a wide range of CPD training through our in-house team of experienced senior leaders.
