SEN Provision Teaching Assistant - Smethwick

Are you passionate about making a difference in children's lives?
We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate 121 Teaching Assistants to join our Aspire Team and work in one of our schools in Smethwick. This role involves providing tailored support to a pupil on a one-to-one basis, helping them to access learning, build confidence, and thrive within the school environment in their SEND Provision.

Key Responsibilities:
* Provide 1:1 support to a pupil with additional needs, both in and out of the classroom.
* Assist in the planning and delivery of engaging learning activities.
* Help to manage behaviour in a positive and consistent way.
* Support the pupil's social and emotional development.
* Work collaboratively with teachers, SENCOs, and other professionals.

Requirements:
* Previous experience working with children (ideally in a school setting).
* Understanding of supporting pupils with special educational needs (SEN) or additional needs.
* Patience, empathy, and excellent communication skills.
* A positive and proactive approach to supporting learning.
* Relevant qualifications (e.g. Level 2/3 Teaching Assistant) are desirable but not essential.

What We Offer:
* A welcoming and supportive school community.
* Ongoing training and professional development.
* The opportunity to make a real impact in a child's educational journey.

If you are committed, caring, and motivated to support children on a 1:1 basis, we would love to hear from you.

We also offer you a £250 referral bonus for recommendations of candidates suitable for any of the roles we are currently recruiting for.
