SEN Teaching Assistant - Care Background

Thinking about a change of career? Bring your care experience into education!

Have you got experience working in care or supporting individuals with additional needs, and fancy a new challenge?

Your skills could be exactly what we're looking for!

Here at Academics, we work closely with a number of specialist SEN schools across East Sussex who are looking for enthusiastic, compassionate and reliable individuals to join their teams on a full-time basis.

We're particularly interested in hearing from people with backgrounds in:

• Residential and adult care

• Healthcare and support work

• Autism and learning disability support

• Complex needs and personal care

• Mental health and behavioural support

Why make the move into education?

You can bring your existing skills and experience into a school environment, supporting children and young people with additional needs, helping them develop their confidence, independence and everyday skills.

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience in care, support work or a similar role.

• A patient, caring and adaptable approach.

• Someone reliable, proactive and passionate about supporting others.

• An interest in working with children and young people with SEN.

You don't necessarily need previous school experience - your transferable skills could be just what a specialist school needs!

Interested in finding out more?

I'd love to have an informal chat about the opportunities available and how your experience could transfer into SEN education.
