Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of children with high needs SEND? A welcoming primary school in Aston is seeking a dedicated SEND Teaching Assistant to join their resourced provision, offering tailored support to pupils with additional needs.

This is a rewarding opportunity to work alongside a skilled team, providing 1:1 and small group support to children with EHCPs. If you're patient, calm under pressure, and committed to helping every child thrive - you'll fit right in.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Support high needs SEND pupils within a specialist provision
• Work 1:1 or with small groups to deliver targeted interventions
• Collaborate with the SENDCo and therapy teams to meet EHCP outcomes
• Use visuals, sensory tools and routines to support learning and regulation
• Help pupils manage transitions and build independence

We're Looking For Someone That:

• Previous experience working in a Primary school or Nursery
• Experience supporting children with SEND (e.g. ASD, SALCN, SEMH)
• A nurturing, resilient approach and strong behaviour management
• Ability to use Makaton, PECS or sensory strategies is a bonus
• A commitment to consistency, structure and pupil progress

Why Work with Long Term Futures?

• Long-term, stable work with the potential for a permanent role.
• No day-to-day supply - full-time consistency in one school.
• A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your placement.
• Trial days instead of formal interviews to ensure the right fit.
• Access to free CPD training, including Understanding Autism, Behaviour Management, and further professional development/refreshers.
