SEND 1:1 Teaching Assistant Job - Taunton
Hays Education is working in partnership with a welcoming and supportive small village primary school just north of Taunton to recruit a dedicated SEND 1:1 Teaching Assistant for a September start.
This part-time role will involve supporting a pupil with additional needs on a one-to-one basis, helping them access learning, develop confidence, and thrive within the classroom environment. The position is initially for the Autumn Term but is expected to continue beyond this for the right candidate.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Teaching Assistant, SEND Support Assistant, Learning Support Assistant, or someone with a background supporting children with additional needs.
The Role
As a SEND 1:1 Teaching Assistant, you will:
- Provide dedicated one-to-one support for a pupil with SEND needs.
- Work closely with the class teacher and SENDCo to implement support strategies.
- Adapt learning activities to meet individual needs.
- Promote engagement, confidence, and independence.
- Support emotional wellbeing and positive behaviour.
- Build a strong and trusting relationship with the pupil and wider school team.
The Ideal Candidate
To be successful in this role, you will have:
- Experience working with children with SEND, either in schools or alternative settings.
- A patient, nurturing, and empathetic approach.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- The ability to remain calm and adaptable throughout the school day.
- A genuine passion for supporting children to achieve their potential.
A Teaching Assistant qualification is desirable but not essential. Candidates with relevant childcare, care, youth work, or support work experience are encouraged to apply.
What You'll Receive
- Competitive rates of pay.
- Ongoing support from a dedicated Hays Education consultant.
- Access to free CPD and training opportunities.
- Opportunity to gain valuable experience within a highly supportive village school.
- Potential for the role to extend beyond the Autumn Term.
