SEN Teaching Assistant

Description

SEN Teaching Assistant

Change a child's day. It might just change your career too.

Some children need a little extra support to find their voice.

Some need someone who understands that progress isn't always measured in test scores. Sometimes it's making eye contact for the first time. Joining in with a group activity. Walking into school with a smile.

If you're the kind of person who celebrates those moments, we'd love to meet you.

At Protocol Education, we're working with fantastic mainstream and specialist schools looking for compassionate, patient and enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistants to support children with a range of additional needs, including Autism (ASC), ADHD, SEMH, speech and language needs, and complex learning difficulties.

Whether you've worked in education before or gained experience through care, youth work, coaching or support work, your skills could make a life-changing difference.

What your day could look like

No two days are ever the same, but you might be:

Supporting pupils one-to-one or in small groups

Helping children build confidence, communication and independence

Using creative approaches to make learning engaging and accessible

Encouraging positive behaviour through patience and understanding

Working alongside teachers, therapists and SENCOs to help every child reach their potential

Celebrating the little wins that make the biggest difference

We're looking for people who...

Are caring, patient and genuinely enjoy working with children

Have experience supporting children or adults with additional needs, or transferable experience in care, youth work or community settings

Stay calm under pressure and build positive relationships

Want to make every school day a safe, happy and successful one

Have a willingness to learn and develop professionally

Experience with Autism, ADHD, SEMH, speech and language needs or physical disabilities is welcomed, but above all, we're looking for people with the right attitude.

Why choose Protocol Education?
