SEND Teaching Assistant – Primary School in Preston

Your new company

Are you passionate about supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)? Do you thrive in a nurturing, inclusive school environment where every child is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential?

Hays Education is currently working in partnership with a well-regarded primary school in Preston to recruit a dedicated and compassionate Teaching Assistant to join their team from September.

Your new role

As a SEND Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with class teachers and the SENCO to support pupils with a range of additional needs, including autism, speech and language difficulties, and social-emotional challenges.

Your responsibilities will include:
Providing 1:1 and small group support tailored to individual learning plans
  • Assisting with classroom activities and adapting resources to meet pupils’ needs
  • Promoting positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing
  • Supporting pupils in developing independence and confidence
  • Collaborating with staff, parents, and external agencies to ensure consistent support

What you'll need to succeed

  • Experience working with children with SEND, ideally in a primary school setting
  • A patient, empathetic, and resilient approach
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • A relevant qualification (e.g., Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant, SEND-specific training) is desirable but not essential.

What you'll get in return

  • A supportive and inclusive school environment
  • Opportunities for professional development and training
  • Competitive rates of pay through Hays Education
  • Ongoing support from your dedicated Hays consultant
