Position: Inspiring LSA's & SEND Teachers Wanted (Temporary)
If you answered yes, we’d love to hear from you.

We are seeking a dedicated Teaching Assistant to join our team in a nurturing yet challenging Alternative Provision/SEN environment. You will work closely with teachers and pastoral staff to support students, many of whom have experienced barriers to learning such as SEMH needs, ASD, ADHD, or trauma.

This is not your average classroom — every day is different. You’ll be supporting young people to re-engage with learning, develop social and emotional skills, and build confidence both in and out of lessons.

Key Responsibilities

Support individual and small-group learning, adapting activities to meet diverse needs.
Foster a calm, positive, and safe learning environment where students feel valued and respected.
Encourage and model positive behaviour, emotional regulation, and social interaction.
Work collaboratively with teachers, SENCOs, and external professionals to implement personalised learning plans.
Help students develop essential life skills that extend beyond the classroom.

About You

We’re looking for someone who:

Has experience supporting young people with additional or complex needs (in school, youth work, or care settings).
Remains calm, consistent, and caring — even when things get tough.
Brings creativity, humour, and empathy to every interaction.
Believes that every child deserves a second chance and is willing to go the extra mile to help them succeed.

Ready to make a difference?

Apply today and become part of a team that believes in potential, not pasts.

Our staff are paid on a PAYE basis, so you can rest assured that you’re paying the right level of TAX and National Insurance and there’s no messing around with admin charges coming out of your hard earned cash.

All applicants will be contacted to discuss suitability and then invited to register with Teacher Active.

Registration involves an enhanced DBS check, s and will require you to supply good professional references. We pride ourselves on excellent service. We can provide a wide range of opportunities in schools and other educational institutions, with good rates of pay, at times to suit your needs.

Regular external audits have shown repeatedly that our standards are exceptional. We are passionate about finding the right staff for each environment.
