Are you a passionate, resilient, and empathetic educator looking to make a genuine difference?
A fantastic, inclusive mainstream school in Romford is seeking a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join their thriving, well-resourced SEN department this September. This is initially a temporary contract for the Autumn term, but for the right candidate, it holds a strong opportunity to transition into a permanent position.
You will be working closely with students across various key stages who have a range of Special Educational Needs, including Autism (ASD), ADHD, Speech and Language difficulties, and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide tailored 1:1 and small-group support to students with EHCPs (Education, Health and Care Plans).
- Adapt learning materials alongside class teachers to ensure lessons are accessible and engaging.
- Manage challenging behaviour with patience, using positive reinforcement and de-escalation techniques.
- Foster an inclusive environment that boosts students' confidence, independence, and social skills.
- Track and report on student progress, collaborating closely with the school's SENDCo and external specialists.
