Are you an experienced or highly motivated SEND Teaching Assistant looking for a secure, long-term placement for the upcoming academic year?

We are recruiting dedicated SEND Teaching Assistants to provide crucial 1:1 and small group support for pupils with Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). Positions are available across a network of reputable schools and specialised provisions in both Blackpool and Preston.

If you want the stability of a full-time, 5-day-a-week role that spans the entire academic year, this is the perfect opportunity to make a lasting impact on a child's educational journey.

The Role

In this targeted support role, you will be key to unlocking a child's potential. Working closely with Class Teachers and the SENDCo, you will ensure that the specific adjustments, accommodations, and learning goals outlined in a pupil's EHCP or IEP are met daily.

EHCP & IEP Implementation: Deliver tailored interventions to help pupils achieve their specific academic, social, and behavioral milestones.

1:1 & Small Group Mentoring: Provide focused attention to pupils with diverse needs, including Autism (ASD), ADHD, Speech and Language difficulties, and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

Classroom Collaboration: Support the main class teacher by adapting learning materials, managing classroom transitions, and creating a highly inclusive learning environment.

Progress Tracking: Observe, record, and report on pupil progress, contributing valuable insights during routine IEP reviews and annual EHCP assessments.

What We Are Looking For

Proven SEND Experience: Prior experience supporting children or young people with additional needs (provisions, mainstream, or care settings).

Strong Understanding of IEPs/EHCPs: Familiarity with how to read, interpret, and actively implement a child's specific support plan.

Reliability & Commitment: Because consistency is vital for SEND pupils, we need individuals who can commit to a full-time, 5-day-a-week schedule for the complete academic year.

Resilient & Empathetic Character: A patient, calm-under-pressure mindset with excellent de-escalation and communication skills.

Safer Recruitment: Hold or be willing to apply for an Enhanced DBS check on the Update Service.

What We Offer

Guaranteed Long-Term Stability: A secure contract running from September 2026 through to July 2027.

Competitive Pay: £24,500 - £25,500 FTE (Paid weekly).

Professional Growth: Direct access to ongoing SEND training, including safeguarding updates, trauma-informed practices, and behaviour management toolkits.

Dedicated Consultant Support: A seamless on-boarding process with localised support across Blackpool and Preston schools.

How to Apply

Secure your placement ahead of the busy September rush.
