SEND Teaching assistant

Looking for a role where you can genuinely change how a child communicates with the world?

We’re working with welcoming SEND schools in Bath and Northeast Somerset. They’ve built a dedicated resource base to support pupils with speech and language needs, and they’re now looking for a full-time Teaching Assistant to join the team.

This isn’t your typical TA role. You’ll be right at the heart of helping children find their voice, build confidence, and feel understood, whether that’s through words, gestures, or something in between.

You’ll be supporting pupils with speech and language delays in a calm, structured resource base, working both 1:1 and in small groups.

• Helping children develop communication skills in ways that work for them
• Supporting social interaction and emotional regulation
• Delivering targeted interventions alongside experienced SEND staff
• Working closely with teachers, SENCOs, and speech & language therapists
• Creating a space where pupils feel safe, supported, and ready to learn

You don’t need to tick every box, but if this sounds like you, we’d love to chat:

• You’ve supported children with SEND or speech and language needs before, or you’re keen to learn
• You’re patient, calm, and a natural communicator
• You’re genuinely interested in how children develop language and confidence
• You work well as part of a team and can follow structured approaches
• You want to make a real difference, not just fill a role

• A chance to work in a specialist speech & language setting
• Learn from experienced SEND staff and therapists
• A supportive school where collaboration is the norm, not the exception
• Strong potential to continue into the following academic year
• Ideal experience if you’re thinking about teaching, SALT, psychology, or SEND careers

• Free CPD and training to keep you growing
• Ongoing support from a consultant who gets it
• FREE Thrive training to build your confidence in SEND and behaviour support
• (Not Thrive trained yet? No worries, we’ll get you sorted. It’s a brilliant tool to have in your kit and schools love it.)
