About this job

Are you are looking to make a difference in the lives of children with Special Educational Needs (SEN)? An OFSTED Outstanding secondary school in Hackney, East London, is looking for a SEN TA to start as soon as possible. As a SEN TA, you will be working on a 1-1 basis with a student with SEN. The student requires physical support, as they are a wheelchair user, and this is where you come in as a SEN TA. Applicants for this SEN TA role should have experience working with children with SEN, and experience in a personal care role. Due to the time sensitive nature of this post, an SEN TA won't be considered unless they have an enhanced child DBS on the Online Update Service.

This includes changing, bathroom assistance, academic support and assistance with resources and day to day items. You will predominantly be working with one female student. You may however be required to support other students on occasion. This role is in a mainstream secondary school, and is to start as soon as possible. The right candidate will have SEND and Personal care experience, but they will also be patient and understanding. They will be flexible, and committed to supporting young people and helping them thrive.

  • Providing one-to-one support to a student with SEN, both in and out of the classroom.
  • Providing personal care and other support
  • Implementing tailored learning strategies and interventions as directed by the SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator).
  • Collaborating with teachers and other support staff to ensure the individual needs of students are met effectively.
  • Assisting with the planning and delivery of differentiated activities to support student progress.
  • Promoting a positive and inclusive learning environment where all students feel valued and supported.
