1:2 SEN Teaching Assistant | PR4 Primary School

Role: 1:2 SEN Teaching Assistant

Location: PR4 Area (Preston/Fylde local primary)

Contract: Temporary, Term-Time Only

Duration: September - December

Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM

Pay: £92.56 - £95.00 per day

About the Role

Are you a nurturing and patient educator with a passion for Early Years development and communication support?

A lovely, small, one-form-entry primary school in the PR4 area is seeking a dedicated, qualified SEN Teaching Assistant to provide vital 1:2 support for two children with verbal needs who will be joining the school family this September.

This is a full-time, temporary contract running from September until December. It is a truly rewarding opportunity to play a pivotal role in these children's early school journey, helping them settle in, feel safe, and develop their communication skills during a crucial transition period.

This school is easily accessible by Lytham, Kirkham, Warton, Freckleton, Ashton and Preston Docks.

The Classroom Environment

Because this is a close-knit, local one-form-entry school, you will benefit from a highly supportive team structure. You will not be isolated; you will be working directly inside a classroom that already has both a full-time Class Teacher and a general Classroom Teaching Assistant present. This collaborative environment ensures you have the backing and resources needed to focus entirely on the progress and well-being of the two children in your care.

Key Responsibilities & Skills Needed

Your primary focus will be supporting the development and on boarding of these two children. To thrive in this role, we are looking for someone who has:

EYFS or Pre-Verbal Experience: Ideally, you will have a strong background working within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) or with pre-verbal/non-verbal children. An understanding of how early communication develops is essential.
On boarding & Transition Support: Starting a new school can be daunting. You will be their consistent, friendly face, helping them navigate new routines, social interactions, and classroom expectations.
Communication Strategies: Experience using physical cues, visual timetables, or basic communication aids to help the children express their needs and engage with learning.
Patience and Nurture: A gentle, encouraging approach to help build the children's confidence and independence at their own pace.

Requirements

Essential: A recognised Teaching Assistant Qualification (e.g., Level 2 or Level 3 Certificate/Diploma in Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools, or equivalent).
Proven experience working with children with speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN), or strong experience within an EYFS setting.
Knowledge of how to support early communication and language development.
A collaborative nature, ready to work closely with the Class Teacher and existing classroom TA.
An Enhanced DBS check on the Update Service (or the willingness to apply for one)
