SEN Teaching Assistant – Ashford, Kent
Daily Rate: ÂŁ88.94 | Full-Time | Term-Time Only
Have you spent your days in a nursery setting, guiding little hands, calming big emotions, and celebrating first words and wobbly steps? Do you love the mess, the magic, and the quiet moments that make childcare so special? If you're now ready to take that experience and channel it into something new—supporting children with additional needs in a school environment—this could be just the opportunity for you.
We’re looking for a caring, curious, and patient SEN Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming school in Ashford, Kent, where every child is seen, heard, and supported to thrive in their own unique way.
A role with heart and purpose
You’ll be working closely with pupils who need a little extra help—children with autism, ADHD, communication differences, or learning challenges. Drawing on your early years’ experience, you’ll bring a nurturing touch, creative problem-solving, and a sense of fun to the classroom.
One day might involve sensory play to support focus, another might be about helping a child find their voice—sometimes literally. Every day, you’ll be someone’s safe person. Their steady hand. Their cheerleader.
What makes you a great fit?
- Experience working in a nursery, preschool, or Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) setting.
- A passion for supporting children with special educational needs.
- Hold a full UK driver’s license and transport.
- A current enhanced DBS registered on the update service or be willing to apply for one.
Why join this journey?
- A dedicated consultant who will guide and champion you every step of the way.
- ÂŁ88.94 per day
- Ongoing training and real career growth within SEN education.
- Commitment to quality and safeguarding.
This isn’t just a job. It’s a step into something bigger. A chance to grow, to support, and to truly make a difference in the lives of children who need it most.
Ready to make the leap from nursery to classroom? We’d love to hear your story.
