About this job

SEND TEACHING ASSISTANTS - ST HELENS

£14+ per hour | Full & Part Time | Start ASAP

Looking for a role where what you do actually makes a difference?

We're currently recruiting SEND Teaching Assistants for schools, specialist provisions and SEND settings across St Helens and the surrounding areas, with opportunities available for immediate starts.

Whether you're an experienced SEND TA or looking to take your first step into specialist education, we want to hear from you.

WHAT COULD YOUR DAY LOOK LIKE?

You could be supporting children and young people with:

* Autism (ASC)
* ADHD
* SEMH
* MLD, SLD & PMLD
* Speech, language and communication needs
* Sensory or physical needs
* Complex and additional learning needs

Depending on the setting, you could be providing 1:1 support, working with small groups, supporting communication and sensory development, helping with classroom learning, or developing essential life skills and independence.

Every pupil is different, so no two days are the same.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

SEND experience is fantastic, but it isn't essential.

Your experience could come from:

* Education or childcare
* Care or support work
* Residential settings
* Youth work
* Supporting vulnerable children or young people
* Other roles where you have supported individuals with additional needs

We're looking for people who are patient, calm, adaptable and genuinely passionate about helping young people thrive.

THE ROLE

£14+ per hour
Monday to Friday
8:30am - 3:30pm
St Helens and surrounding areas
Primary, secondary, college and specialist settings
Full-time and part-time opportunities
Immediate starts
Long-term and temp-to-perm positions

Roles matched to your experience and availability

Our Refer-a-Friend scheme also offers £100 for Teaching Assistants and £250 for Teachers.*

SEND education can be challenging, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Whether you're helping a pupil communicate, manage their emotions, engage with learning or take another step towards independence, your support can make a genuine difference.

If you're looking for your next SEND role and are available to start ASAP, get in touch today to find out what opportunities we have available.
