Have you worked with children who need a more individual approach to communication, learning or daily routines? Tradewind Recruitment is looking for experienced SEN Teaching Assistants interested in working in primary specialist resource provisions and SEND settings across Bexley.
We're keen to hear from candidates who have supported children with complex needs and can describe what helped those pupils take part in the school day. You might have worked in a special school, a resource base or a mainstream primary school where you provided sustained one-to-one or small-group support.
What the work can involve
Adapting activities and resources so pupils can engage with learning at their own level.
Using visual prompts, communication aids or predictable routines to support participation and transitions.
Recognising signs that a pupil is becoming overwhelmed and following their agreed support strategies.
Working closely with teachers and other support staff to follow individual plans and share observations about progress.
What we're looking for
You'll need practical experience supporting children with SEND and a calm, consistent approach. Experience with autism, communication and interaction needs, sensory needs or complex learning needs is particularly relevant. If you've used Makaton, AAC or visual timetables, tell us how you used them and what difference they made for the pupil.
We'll discuss the age group, level of support and day-to-day responsibilities with you before putting you forward for an assignment.
Apply now with your CV, details of the needs and age groups you've supported, and your availability. All assignments are subject to satisfactory safeguarding checks and references.
