SEND Teaching Assistant

SEND Teaching Assistant – Camberley

Academics are delighted to be recruiting an experienced SEND Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming and supportive primary school team located in Camberley. We are looking for candidates with a strong background in supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), ideally with experience of working with children on the Autistic Spectrum (ASD).

This is a term‑time only position (39 weeks per year), working Monday to Friday, 8:30am–3:30pm. The role includes midday meal supervision duties and a half‑hour lunch break.

You will be based in the school's dedicated SEND Unit, working closely alongside a qualified teacher to support children with a range of needs.

Our curriculum in the SEND Unit is topic‑based and blends EYFS and KS1 learning with a strong focus on:

• Social communication skills
• Listening, speaking, and attention
• Sensory needs and regulation
• Behaviour support
• Play‑based learning

Each child has an individualised support plan tailored to their specific needs, and you'll play a key role in delivering this personalised provision.

This is a fixed‑term contract until the end of the Academic Year, with the possibility of extension.

• A dedicated consultant – your personal contact to guide you through every stage, from application to your first day in school.
• Insider knowledge of the school – we’ll give you detailed information about the school, its ethos, and expectations so you can walk in feeling confident.
• CV and interview support – we’ll help you present your skills in the best way and prepare you for any interview or trial day.
• Smooth registration and compliance – we’ll handle all the paperwork and checks quickly so you can start as soon as possible.
• Ongoing check‑ins – we’ll keep in touch once you start to make sure you’re happy and supported in your new role.
• Career development advice – if you want to progress into other roles, including teacher training, we’ll guide you on your next steps.
• Access to local opportunities – should you wish to explore other roles in future, we have strong relationships with schools across the area.
