Schools across Northampton are looking for caring, dedicated and resilient SEN Support Assistants to join their teams. If you’re driven by helping pupils with additional needs flourish, this could be the perfect opportunity.
⭐ About the Schools
We partner with a wide range of inclusive Northampton schools that put pupil wellbeing and individualised support at the centre of their approach. These settings provide structured, nurturing environments where SEN staff can make a meaningful impact every day.

- Help implement personalised learning plans
- Support pupils with emotional regulation, communication and social development
- Work collaboratively with teachers, SENCOs and pastoral staff
- Promote positive behaviour and consistency in the classroom
No two days will be the same — you’ll be helping pupils grow in confidence, independence and resilience.
What We’re Looking For
- Patient, calm and reliable individuals
- A genuine interest in SEN support and child development
- Willingness to undertake specialist training (e.g., autism awareness, SEMH strategies)
- A positive mindset and motivation to improve outcomes for young people
- Previous experience supporting children or young people with SEN
Desirable (but not essential)
