SEN Teaching Assistant

Cambridge | -90 to -110 per day | September Start

Not every child needs someone to fix them. Sometimes they just need someone who won''t give up on them.

If you''ve got the resilience to stay calm when others can''t, the patience to build trust over time, and the confidence to support children with additional needs, this could be the role for you.

Simply Education is recruiting experienced SEN Teaching Assistants to support fantastic primary schools and specialist settings across Cambridge this September. We''re looking for people who genuinely want to make a difference and understand that progress isn''t always measured in grades. Sometimes it''s measured in smiles, confidence and small victories.
