About the Role:
We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistant to join our Focus-Based Hub, a specialist provision within [School Name] designed to support pupils with complex additional needs. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant difference in a setting that combines the structure of a small, nurturing environment with access to a mainstream curriculum where appropriate.

-
Work collaboratively with teachers, the hub lead, and external professionals to deliver consistent, high-quality support in line with individual support plans and EHCPs.
-
Support reintegration into mainstream lessons where appropriate, and adapt activities to ensure access and inclusion.
-
Maintain a positive, safe, and structured learning space using clear boundaries and supportive strategies.
-
Contribute to daily routines, sensory regulation activities, and consistent behaviour support practices.
The Ideal Candidate Will Have:
-
Experience supporting children with complex SEN, particularly in specialist or nurture-based settings.
-
An understanding of trauma-informed practice, sensory needs, and emotional regulation strategies.
-
A calm, resilient, and compassionate approach to working with children who may display challenging behaviour.
-
Good literacy, numeracy, and communication skills.
-
A relevant qualification in education, SEN, or care (e.g., Level 2/3 Teaching Assistant, CACHE, or similar).
-
A team-player mindset with a willingness to learn and reflect.
-
Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable children.
All rates are inclusive of holiday pay.
