Can you be the calm in a child's busy school day?

For a child with additional needs, the jump into primary school can be overwhelming. We are seeking a patient, creative, and nurturing SEND Teaching Assistant to join a friendly primary school in Tamworth. You will be the "go-to" person for a child (or small group) with needs such as Autism (ASD) , Speech and Language delays , or Global Developmental Delay (GDD) .

This is your chance to use play, patience, and visual aids to turn a "can't do" into a "can do."

What's in it for you?

• The "Lightbulb" Moments: Experience the pure joy of seeing a child finally master a skill they've been working on for weeks.
• Work-Life Balance: Enjoy primary school hours (typically 8:30 am - 3:30 pm) with no weekend or evening work.
• Weekly Pay: Competitive daily rates, strictly adhered to, and paid every Friday via Randstad.
• Specialist Growth: Gain hands‑on experience with EHCPs , PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), and sensory regulation techniques.

The Ideal "Nurturer"

We want to hear from you if you:

• Are Naturally Patient: You understand that primary‑aged children need time, repetition, and a lot of encouragement.
• Are Imaginative: You can turn a sensory bin, a storybook, or a game into a powerful learning tool.
• Have Experience: Whether you've worked in a nursery, a school, or have personal experience with SEND, your empathy is what matters most.
• Are a Team Player: You can work closely with the Class Teacher and the SENCO to create a safe, inclusive space.

Your Core Responsibilities

• 1:1 Learning: Provide tailored support during phonics, maths, and play‑based activities to ensure the curriculum is accessible.
• Sensory Support: Use "Now & Next" boards and sensory breaks to help a child stay regulated and happy.
• Social Development: Help children learn how to play, share, and communicate with their peers during break times.
• Care & Wellbeing: Assist with personal care or mobility if required, ensuring the child feels dignified and safe.
