Job Description
Do you have a genuine desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people with SEND?
We are seeking a calm, compassionate, and committed Teaching Assistant (TA) to offer dedicated 1:1 support to a pupil at a welcoming and inclusive primary school in Devizes. The school has excellent facilities and a supportive staff team. This role focuses on providing steady, individualised assistance that gives the student the opportunity to thrive in a nurturing and secure learning environment. Full-time availability is preferred but not essential.
Main Responsibilities:
Deliver one-to-one support tailored to the individual needs of the pupil throughout the school day.
Build a trusting and supportive relationship to help the pupil gain confidence and engage in learning.
Collaborate with the class teacher and SENDCo to support positive behaviour and personalised learning strategies.
Ensure the pupil feels heard, understood, and valued.
Create and maintain a safe, inclusive, and encouraging classroom atmosphere.
What We're Looking For:
Previous experience working with children with special educational needs and disabilities - in particular those with social, emotional and mental health difficulties.
A patient, understanding, and nurturing approach to supporting behaviour and learning.
A strong commitment to delivering consistent, high-quality support to all pupils.
Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work closely with school staff and families.
Essential requirements:
Right to work in the UK – we are unable to offer Sponsorship or accept Skilled Worker visas.
Able to provide two recent references (from the last two years).
Hold a current DBS check registered on the Update Service, or be willing to apply for one*
*Please note, if you do not have a Non-Voluntary Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, we will need to help you process a new one at a cost of £62.70. This will be refunded after 20 days of work with us.

• Check out our Google reviews for one of the best supply experiences in Bristol! We offer free specialised training in areas such as Team Teach, Makaton, PMLD/SLD Awareness, Autism Awareness, and more
• Free DBS (refunded when you work 20 days)
• Recommending a friend bonus scheme
• Specialist support/ mentoring while you are working
If you think this could be a job for you, please get in touch to find out more from Joseph at (phone number removed). We are always available for an informal chat if you want to find out more about whether this role is suited to you.
Pay: Five Education operates a PAYE payroll; this is the most transparent way to be paid with no hidden fees such as admin fee or employer's NI. Please note pay rate is for illustration and does include holiday pay.
Vetting: Five Education is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all of the staff we employ to share this commitment. Successful applicants will be required to undergo checks including reference checks, TRA checks and will need to have a DBS; there will also be an interview.
We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as they are currently under-represented at this level.
