SEN 1:1 Teaching Assistant

Description

Join Our Team as an SEN 1:1 Support Assistant – Plymouth

Be the difference a child needs.

Do you have a passion for helping children overcome barriers and reach their full potential? At Vision for Education, we’re looking for compassionate, patient, and motivated SEN 1:1 Support Assistants to work closely with pupils who have Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs) in schools across Plymouth.

You’ll provide tailored, one-to-one support for children with a range of additional needs—including Autism, ADHD, and social, emotional, or behavioural challenges—helping them feel safe, supported, and empowered to succeed.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Personalised 1:1 Support – Help pupils grow academically and emotionally by working closely with them in line with their EHCPs.

Team Collaboration – Work with teachers, SENCOs, and other professionals to adapt strategies that truly support each learner.

Positive Behaviour Support – Use trauma-informed, positive behaviour techniques to help children feel calm, safe, and focused.

Progress Monitoring – Keep accurate records of each child’s progress and share insights with the wider team.

Foster Inclusion – Create a nurturing environment where every child feels valued, heard, and included.

Who We’re Looking For:

Experience working with children or young people with SEND, particularly 1:1 support

Knowledge of Autism, ADHD, trauma-informed care, or other SEN needs

Excellent communication skills with both pupils and professionals

A calm, patient, and resilient approach, even when things get tough

A commitment to safeguarding and promoting wellbeing

Relevant qualifications (Level 2/3 in TA, Childcare, or Health & Social Care) are beneficial but not essential

What We Offer:

Competitive weekly pay, paid via PAYE

Access to specialised SEN training and professional development

A dedicated consultant who supports you every step of the way

Opportunities for flexible working hours to suit your lifestyle

A chance to make a life-changing impact every day
