SEN Teaching Assistant

Long-Term SEN Opportunities | Coventry, Nuneaton, Leamington Spa and Surrounding Areas

Some pupils make progress because the adults around them stay consistent.
That is where this role makes the difference.

Sprint works exclusively on SEN roles. Schools usually come to us when they are looking for stability, not ad-hoc cover. We partner with mainstream primary schools, mainstream secondary schools, and specialist SEN settings across Coventry and nearby areas to place Teaching Assistants who want to build relationships and see progress over time.

These are often full-time, long-term and permanent SEN Teaching Assistant roles for people who value routine, patience, and the quieter wins that come from consistency.

About the role

We're recruiting SEN Teaching Assistants for a range of long-term placements across Coventry and Warwickshire. Depending on the setting, you may be working:

* In mainstream primary schools with established SEN provision

* In mainstream secondary schools supporting pupils with additional needs

* In specialist SEN schools or alternative provision settings

Support is typically provided on a 1:1 basis or in small groups, shaped around each pupil’s needs.

Your day-to-day may include

* Supporting pupils with additional needs throughout the school day

* Helping pupils feel regulated, settled, and ready to learn

* Following guidance from teachers and SENCOs to support individual plans

* Supporting routines, transitions, and positive behaviour strategies

* Building trust and familiarity through consistent daily support

* Being a calm, reliable adult presence within the school

Who these roles are suited to

These roles are a good fit if you:

* Have at least six months of recent classroom-based experience in a mainstream or SEN setting

* Or are a Psychology or SEN-related graduate with hands-on school or support experience

* Have experience or confidence supporting autism, ADHD, SEMH, or similar needs

* Are available for full-time work, Monday to Friday

* Are looking for long-term or permanent roles rather than day-to-day supply

* Work with patience, empathy, and reflection

* Value reliability, professionalism, and consistency

What’s on offer

* Full-time, long-term or permanent SEN Teaching Assistant roles

* Placements where routines are established and support is consistent

* The chance to see real progress develop over time

* Ongoing support from a team that works solely within SEN

* Experience that supports progression into teaching, therapy, or specialist SEN pathways

Why Sprint?

If you're looking to work as a general classroom Teaching Assistant without a focus on additional needs, we're probably not the right agency for you.

But if you want to support pupils with SEND in a stable, long-term role where relationships and consistency matter, that is exactly what we do.
