We are looking for a caring, patient and reliable SEN Teaching Assistant to provide 1:1 support for a Year 1 pupil at a primary school in the L8 area.The pupil has ASD, is non-verbal, and requires personal care support. He is currently attending school until 10:30am, with the aim of gradually increasing his timetable until he is attending full time in the near future.

This role would suit someone who has experience supporting children with additional needs, particularly ASD, communication needs, sensory regulation, and personal care. The pupil needs time and space to regulate throughout the day, so a calm, nurturing and consistent approach is essential.

The child can run off and has limited awareness of danger, so the successful candidate must be confident providing close supervision and supporting safety at all times.

Key responsibilities:
• Providing 1:1 support for a Year 1 pupil with ASD
• Supporting communication, engagement and daily routines
• Assisting with sensory regulation and emotional support
• Providing personal care support when required
• Maintaining close supervision due to safety awareness needs
• Working closely with class staff and the wider SEN team

The ideal candidate will:
• Have experience supporting children with SEN, ideally ASD
• Be calm, patient, nurturing and reliable
• Be confident supporting a non-verbal child
• Understand the importance of sensory regulation
• Be comfortable providing personal care
• Be proactive around safeguarding and pupil safety
• Have Arabic language skills, although this is desirable rather than essential

What We Offer

• Competitive pay rates
• Refer-a-Friend bonus scheme
• Ongoing professional development, including free training opportunities
• Pension contributions

All applicants must hold an enhanced DBS certificate (or allow us to process one for you) and be registered on the DBS update service. Candidates will be asked to provide a minimum of five years references and successfully pass all safeguarding checks
