Can you be the guiding light for a child's first steps in education?
Every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and capable. We are looking for a patient and nurturing SEND Teaching Assistant to join a vibrant Primary School in Tamworth. You will be working with children in EYFS, KS1, or KS2 who have additional needs such as ASD, GDD (Global Developmental Delay), or Speech and Language difficulties.
This isn’t just about getting through the lesson: it’s about using play, patience, and creativity to help a child navigate their world.
What’s in it for you?
- A Heart-Warming Career: There is nothing quite like seeing a child reach a milestone because of your dedicated support.
- Work-Life Balance: 8:30 am - 3:30 pm hours, allowing you to reclaim your evenings.
- Weekly Pay: Competitive rates paid every Friday via Randstad.
- A Foot in the Door: Perfect for those looking to progress into Educational Psychology, Speech Therapy, or Primary Teaching.
