Long‑Term Positions (with potential to become permanent)

We are currently recruiting SEN Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) and Teaching Assistants (TAs) for a range of rewarding roles across mainstream primary, secondary and specialist SEND schools
. These positions include both whole‑class support and 1:1 support for students with additional needs.

If you are passionate about helping children and young people thrive, and you're looking for a long‑term role that offers consistency, growth and the opportunity to make a real impact, we would love to hear from you.

What We Are Looking For

  • ASD / Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
  • ADHD / ADD
  • SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs)
  • MLD (Moderate Learning Difficulties)
  • SLD (Severe Learning Difficulties)
  • PMLD (Profound & Multiple Learning Difficulties)

  • SLCN (Speech, Language & Communication Needs)
  • HI (Hearing Impairment)
  • VI (Visual Impairment)
  • BSL (British Sign Language)
  • Global Developmental Delay (GDD)
  • Challenging behaviour / behaviour mentoring
  • Emotional regulation support
  • Physical disabilities / medical needs
  • Personal care / moving & handling / hoist training
  • Working with non‑verbal students or those using alternative communication (PECS, Makaton, AAC)

If you have worked as a tutor, support worker, nursery practitioner, sports coach, youth worker or carer, your experience may also be highly relevant.

What We Offer
  • Long‑term placements
    , with many roles leading to permanent employment
  • Opportunities across mainstream and specialist SEND settings
  • Supportive school environments committed to staff development
  • Free Team Teach training for all staff, offered as part of our group of companies
  • Roles that offer genuine purpose and the chance to make a meaningful difference to students' lives

Consistency is vital for the children you will be supporting, so most positions are long‑term with the opportunity to grow within the school.
