About the role

We are seeking to appoint a dedicated, enthusiastic and highly motivated SEN Support Assistant to join our committed and supportive team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about making a real difference to a child’s learning, progress and well-being. The successful candidate will provide 1:1 support for a child in KS2, helping them to overcome barriers to learning, develop independence and reach their full potential. At times, the role will also involve supporting children in small groups and working alongside teachers to support learning and engagement across the wider classroom and curriculum. We are looking for someone who is nurturing, patient and proactive, with a genuine commitment to ensuring every child feels safe, valued and supported to flourish. Experience of working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and/or ADHD would be an advantage. A good understanding of the KS2 curriculum is also important, enabling you to support the child in accessing learning opportunities, adapting activities where appropriate and ensuring that the provision and outcomes outlined in their Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) are effectively supported. You will work closely with teachers and the wider team, contributing to a positive, inclusive learning environment where all children are encouraged to succeed. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. They will be vigilant in recognising and responding to any concerns, understand their responsibilities in keeping children safe and be committed to creating an environment where every child feels secure, respected and able to thrive. Why Join us? As a Trust we promote the individuality of our schools and provide them with the freedom to develop their own strengths, distinct character and to meet the needs of their communities whilst at the same time seeking to maximise the benefits of being part of a larger network and organisation. Being part of a Trust gives our staff access to exciting professional development opportunities, gives children the chance to interact with others from different schools and provides challenge and support to school leaders through effective governance. We are driven by a passion to do our very best for the children in our schools and we know that by working together we can achieve things that we could not do alone.
