Are you a patient, resilient and compassionate Teaching Assistant who thrives when supporting children with additional needs?
Looking for a full‑time, long‑term role where you can build strong relationships and truly make a difference?

Teaching Personnel are recruiting for a dedicated ARB Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming primary school in the Truro area from September. This is a fantastic opportunity to work within a specialist provision, supporting pupils in a structured, well‑supported environment — with the potential for a permanent position.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not typical day‑to‑day supply…

You’ll work consistently in one setting
Be part of a close‑knit SEN team
Build meaningful, long‑term relationships with pupils
Receive strong support from experienced staff
Opportunity to transition into a permanent role
If you’re looking for stability, purpose, and progression — this is a brilliant next step.

About the Role

You will be working within an Additionally Resourced Base (ARB) supporting pupils with a range of needs such as:

Autism (ASC)
Communication and interaction difficulties
SEMH and regulation needs

Your role will include:

Providing 1:1 and small‑group support
Supporting routines, transitions and emotional regulation
Adapting activities to support access to learning
Encouraging independence and confidence

This role is ideal for someone who:

Has experience working in SEN, care, or support settings
Is calm, patient and emotionally resilient
Is confident supporting behaviour and routine
Enjoys working closely with individual pupils
Wants a long‑term, meaningful role
The right attitude is just as important as experience.
