Mainstream Primary SEN TA

Do you believe that every child deserves a tailored approach to learning, no matter their barriers?

Are you looking for a rewarding role where no two days are ever the same?

Could you be the calm, supportive anchor a child with additional needs can rely on this coming September?

Randstad Education is currently recruiting dedicated and empathetic Special Educational Needs (SEN) Teaching Assistants to join our supply team in Leeds. Starting this September, you will be working within mainstream primary schools, providing vital support to children who need an extra layer of guidance, patience, and encouragement to thrive in a standard classroom environment.

• EHCP Implementation: Assist in delivering the specific targets outlined in a child s Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

• Sensory & De-escalation: Recognise triggers and implement calming strategies or sensory breaks when a pupil becomes overwhelmed.

• Essential: Applicants must have UK experience supporting children with additional needs, preferably within a primary school or specialised setting.

• A deeply patient, resilient, and compassionate nature.

• A good understanding of positive behaviour strategies and adaptive learning techniques.
