SEN Teaching Assistant

Some children don't need someone to simply sit beside them. They need someone who understands them.

Academics are recruiting for an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant to provide dedicated 1:1 support to a pupil within a primary school in Leighton Buzzard.

This is an opportunity for a patient, resilient and emotionally intelligent SEN Teaching Assistant who understands that progress can look different for every child.

What makes this role different?

Rather than supporting a whole class, you'll provide consistent 1:1 support to a pupil, helping them access learning, develop confidence and engage positively with school life.

The school is an established primary setting in Leighton Buzzard with a supportive staff team and a strong focus on inclusion.

You will work closely with teaching staff and other professionals, helping create a structured and positive environment for the pupil.

Role: SEN Teaching Assistant
Location: Leighton Buzzard
Pay: £95-£105 per day, depending on experience
Contract: Full-time
Type: 1:1 SEN support

You could be a great fit if you have:

• Previous experience as an SEN Teaching Assistant
• Experience supporting pupils on a 1:1 basis
• Knowledge of additional learning needs
• A patient and nurturing approach
• Strong behaviour management skills
• The ability to remain calm and consistent
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills

Experience supporting children with autism, SEMH, ADHD, communication needs or other additional needs would be particularly valuable.
