About the Role:

We are looking for a caring and proactive SEN Teaching Assistant to provide one-to-one support for a Reception pupil with Autism, developmental delay, and who is non-verbal. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in a child's early education journey.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide tailored support to meet the pupil's individual needs.
  • Assist with communication and social interaction strategies.
  • Support learning activities in line with the EYFS curriculum.
  • Foster a positive and inclusive learning environment.
  • Occasionally assist with general classroom support when required.
  • Some personal care may be required occasionally (not essential).

    • Requirements:

  • Previous experience working with children with SEN, particularly Autism, is highly desirable.
  • Patience, empathy, and a proactive approach to supporting learning.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with teachers and other staff.

    • Benefits:

  • Long-term role with consistent hours.
  • Supportive school environment.
  • Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a child's development.

    • How to Apply:

    If you are passionate about supporting children with additional needs and meet the above criteria, please apply today! Call Sarah Maclachlan on 01772 846610 or email your CV to smaclachlan@veritas-education.com
