SEN Teaching Assistant - Cambridge

-105 per day | Long-term position | ASAP start

Are you an SEN Teaching Assistant looking for a long-term role in Cambridge where you can properly get to know the pupils you support?

We''re working with a school in Cambridge that is looking for a reliable and caring SEN Teaching Assistant to join them as soon as possible. This is a long-term position, so the school is looking for someone who can offer consistency and become a familiar, trusted part of the school day.

This would suit someone who enjoys working closely with pupils with additional needs and understands that progress can look different for every child.

What will you be doing?

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you''ll work alongside teachers and other support staff to help pupils access learning and feel confident in the classroom.

Your day could include:

• Providing one-to-one and small-group support
• Helping pupils engage with classroom activities
• Breaking tasks down into manageable steps
• Supporting communication, confidence and independence
• Encouraging positive engagement with learning
• Following individual support strategies
• Working closely with teaching and SEN staff

We''re particularly interested in people who are patient and observant. Someone who takes the time to understand what works for an individual pupil rather than expecting every child to respond in the same way.

Who are we looking for?

Previous experience as an SEN Teaching Assistant would be ideal, but we''re also happy to hear from candidates with other relevant experience supporting children or young people with additional needs.

You may have worked in a school, SEN setting, care environment, youth provision or another support-based role.

You''ll need to be dependable, approachable and comfortable working as part of a wider education team.
