Vision for Education is looking for a patient, dependable Teaching Assistant to work one-to-one with a child with SEND in a Haywards Heath school. You’ll support the same pupil day to day, helping them access the curriculum, stay regulated and build confidence in the classroom. That means adapting tasks and resources to suit them, following the strategies set out in their EHCP or support plan, and working closely with the class teacher and SENCO to track progress. Consistency matters enormously in this kind of role — building a strong, trusting relationship with one child is what makes the difference. It’s a rewarding position for anyone who enjoys seeing steady, individual progress, and a strong foundation if you’re considering a longer-term career in SEND, teaching or therapeutic support.
