Contract/Project
SEND Teaching Assistant (Internal SEND Hub)
Location: Ashington, Northumberland
Position: Full-Time, Long-Term
Hours: Monday – Friday, 08:30 – 15:30 (Term time only)
Start Date: September 2026 / As soon as possible
Are you passionate about making a real difference in children's lives? Do you want to work in a dedicated, supportive environment where your efforts directly impact pupils who need it most?
A welcoming primary school in Ashington, Northumberland is seeking a dedicated and adaptable SEND Teaching Assistant to join their team. This is a full-time, long-term role based within the school’s bespoke internal SEND Hub—a specialized, nurturing space designed to support children with diverse special educational needs and disabilities.
The Role
Unlike traditional 1:1 roles, this position focuses primarily on group-based support within the SEND Hub. You will work alongside a passionate team to deliver tailored interventions, manage small-group learning activities, and create an inclusive environment where pupils can thrive.
While your day-to-day focus will be on groups, flexibility is key, as you may occasionally be required to provide high-quality 1:1 support for specific students when needed.
Key Responsibilities
*
Support groups of children within the SEND Hub, adapting learning activities to meet their individual social, emotional, and academic needs.
*
Work collaboratively with the class teachers and the SENDCo to implement Individual Education Plans (IEPs).
*
Provide 1:1 targeted support for pupils when required, helping them engage with the curriculum and build independence.
*
Assist in managing the classroom environment, ensuring it remains a safe, positive, and structured space for learning.
*
Build strong, trusting relationships with pupils, helping to boost their confidence and emotional well-being.
What We Are Looking For
*
Experience: Ideally, you will have prior experience working with SEND children or a background as a Support Worker. However, this is not essential. A resilient attitude, a willingness to learn, and genuine empathy are far more important.
*
Attributes: You must be patient, adaptable, and a fantastic team player. The ability to stay calm under pressure and use your initiative is vital.
*
Reliability: As this is a full-time, long-term position, consistency is crucial for our pupils. You must be able to commit to the 08:30 – 15:30, Monday to Friday routine.
*
Requirements: An enhanced DBS check on the Update Service is required (or willingness to apply for one), along with suitable professional references.
What the School Offers
*
A highly supportive and collaborative staff team dedicated to inclusive education.
*
Excellent resources within a modern, purpose-built school SEND Hub.
*
Opportunities for ongoing professional development and specialized SEND training.
*
A rewarding role where no two days are the same and your impact is visible every day
