Are you passionate about making a difference in young people’s lives? Looking to start a rewarding career in education but not sure where to begin?
We’re currently recruiting Aspiring Teaching Assistants to support pupils in a welcoming and inclusive Special Educational Needs (SEN) school. This is the perfect opportunity for someone who is enthusiastic, patient, and eager to learn.

As an Aspiring Teaching Assistant, you’ll play a key role in supporting students with additional learning needs, including autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, communication needs, and social‑emotional challenges.
Your day‑to‑day duties may include:

• Providing 1:1 and small-group support
• Helping pupils engage with classroom activities
• Assisting the teacher in delivering tailored learning
• Encouraging independence and confidence
• Supporting children with emotional regulation and social skills
• Creating a safe, positive and nurturing environment

You do not need any qualifications or prior experience for this role. We’re looking for people who are:

• Compassionate, patient and reliable
• Willing to learn and develop new skills
• Confident working with children or young people
• Passionate about helping others reach their potential

If you have personal experience with SEN, youth work, coaching, care work, or volunteering, that’s a bonus—but not essential.

If you’re ready to begin your career in education and would love to join a supportive SEN school environment, we’d love to hear from you!
