Full Time Paid Trial Weeks Start ASAP

Are you looking to kick-start a career in Special Educational Needs? Whether you’re a fresh graduate, a college leaver, or someone with a real passion for supporting children, this SEN school in Slough is offering an exciting opportunity to become a valued SEN Teaching Assistant.

About the Role:

• You will be supporting Primary and Secondary pupils with Autism (ASD) and associated communication needs.
• Much of the role involves 1:1 support, helping pupils engage with learning and daily routines.
• Many students are non-verbal and work best with structured methods such as PECS, visual cues, and ABA strategies.
• With small class sizes and strong teamwork, you’ll play a vital role in helping pupils feel safe, supported, and confident to learn.

Ideal Candidate:

• Patient, empathetic, and motivated to support SEN learners.
• Experience or knowledge of autism, communication needs, PECS or ABA is an advantage – but not essential.
• Graduates (particularly psychology, education, or related fields) and college leavers are warmly encouraged to apply.
• Full-time availability is required to provide continuity for the children.

What the School Offers:

• Paid trial weeks to ensure a smooth transition into the role.
• A well-structured training programme, meaning no prior school or SEN experience is needed.
• Excellent career progression routes within a supportive SEN environment.
• An inclusive, friendly, and dedicated staff team who will mentor and guide you.

This role is perfect for someone looking to start their journey in education or SEN and build long-term skills and experience in a supportive setting.
