SEN Teaching Assistant

SEN Teaching Assistant - Full Time - Seaford

Location: Seaford, East Sussex
Hours: Full Time, Monday to Friday
Setting: Specialist SEN School

Do you have a passion for supporting children and young people who face additional barriers to learning? Are you looking for an opportunity to build a rewarding career within specialist education?

Academics are working with specialist SEN settings across Seaford and the surrounding areas, seeking enthusiastic and committed Teaching Assistants to support pupils with a variety of complex learning and developmental needs.

You will play an important role in helping pupils feel safe, understood and supported, adapting your approach to suit individual needs and encouraging progress both inside and outside the classroom.

Pupils may have a range of needs, including:

• Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC/ASD)

• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs

• ADHD and associated behavioural difficulties

• Speech, language and communication difficulties

• Sensory processing needs

• Learning disabilities and developmental delays

• Complex needs requiring additional pastoral and learning support

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering individualised 1:1 and small-group support.

• Encouraging engagement, participation and positive learning experiences.

• Supporting pupils with emotional regulation and managing challenging situations.

• Implementing individual learning strategies and positive behaviour approaches.

• Developing pupils' communication, social and independent living skills.

• Creating positive and trusting relationships with pupils, staff and families.

We welcome applications from candidates with previous SEN experience, although this isn't essential. Experience in residential care, healthcare, psychology, mentoring, youth work or supporting individuals with additional needs would be particularly beneficial.

Above all, we are looking for someone who is compassionate, reliable and enthusiastic about making a difference.
