Contract: Fixed Term
Can you be the calm in a child's busy school day?
For a child with additional needs, the jump into primary school can be overwhelming. We are seeking a patient, creative, and nurturing SEND Teaching Assistant to join a friendly primary school in Tamworth. You will be the go-to person for a child (or small group) with needs such as Autism (ASD), Speech and Language delays, or Global Developmental Delay (GDD).
This is your chance to use play, patience, and visual aids to turn a can't do into a can do.
What's in it for you?
- The Lightbulb Moments: Experience the pure joy of seeing a child finally master a skill they've been working on for weeks.
- Work:Life Balance: Enjoy primary school hours (typically 8:30 am : 3:30 pm) with no weekend or evening work.
- Weekly Pay: Competitive daily rates, strictly adhered to, and paid every Friday via Randstad.
- Specialist Growth: Gain hands-on experience with EHCPs, PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), and sensory regulation techniques.
