Help young people belong, thrive and achieve!

Are you passionate about supporting children and young people with additional needs? Do you have the patience, compassion and resilience to help individuals overcome challenges, develop confidence and achieve their potential?

We are recruiting enthusiastic and dedicated SEND Teaching Assistants to join an outstanding specialist learning environment school in Boston, supporting pupils aged 2-19 with a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a modern, purpose-built specialist school where pupils are at the heart of everything. The focus is on creating meaningful learning experiences, developing independence and preparing young people for life beyond school.

The school offers a genuinely varied learning environment where teaching and support extend well beyond traditional classroom activities.

Helping pupils prepare for adulthood

One of the school's key priorities is ensuring that every pupil develops the skills, confidence and independence needed for their future.

Its personalised curriculum includes different learning pathways, from early years and pre-formal learning through to formal education and post-16 provision.

Pupils have opportunities to develop practical and employability skills through:

* Work experience and supported placements.

* Opportunities to work in the school café and tuck shop.

* Horticulture and outdoor learning.

* Vocational learning and college opportunities.

* Community-based activities and independent living skills.

* Careers education and preparation for life after school.

Who are we looking for?

Ideally, you will have previous experience working within a SEND school or specialist educational setting.

However, we are also very keen to hear from candidates with transferable experience who have supported vulnerable children and young people in other environments.

Relevant backgrounds could include:

* SEND or mainstream education.

* Residential childcare or specialist care settings.

* Working with young offenders or young people displaying challenging behaviour.

* Supporting unaccompanied asylum-seeking children or young migrants.

* Family support services and social care.

* Youth work, mentoring or behavioural support.

* Experience supporting individuals with autism, learning disabilities or complex needs.

You don't necessarily need previous classroom experience. A caring nature, patience, resilience and the ability to build positive relationships are just as important.

What will the role involve?

* Supporting pupils with their learning and everyday activities.

* Providing individual and small-group support.

* Helping pupils develop communication and social skills.

* Encouraging independence and practical life skills.

* Supporting emotional regulation and positive behaviour.

* Helping pupils access sensory, therapeutic and practical learning activities.

* Working alongside teachers and other professionals to provide a safe, inclusive and supportive environment.

* Celebrating individual achievements and encouraging pupils to reach their potential.

What's on offer?

* £95-£110 per day, depending on experience.

* Full-time, Monday to Friday.

* School hours: 8:30am-3:30pm.

* Long-term, consistent work.

* Potential to become permanent for the right candidate.

* Valuable experience within a modern specialist SEND setting.

* A rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference to young people's lives.

Whether you're an experienced SEND Teaching Assistant or someone coming from a care, residential support, youth work or family services background looking to move into education, this could be an excellent opportunity.
