Graduate Teaching Assistant

Job Description:

Graduate SEN Teaching Assistant. Long Term Roles.

Every child deserves to feel understood. Some just need a little more time, structure, and steady support before things start to click.

We’re working with inclusive schools across Coventry and Warwickshire who are looking for Graduate SEN Teaching Assistants and Learning Support staff to join them in long-term roles. These are opportunities to become part of a school community, build trust with pupils, and see the small daily wins that lead to real progress.

If you’re a psychology graduate or aspiring education professional, this is hands-on classroom experience where you can apply what you’ve learned and continue to grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Supporting pupils with SEND on a 1:1 and small group basis

• Helping pupils follow routines and stay engaged in learning

• Supporting emotional regulation and positive behaviour strategies

• Working closely with teachers and SENCOs to implement support plans

• Creating a calm, predictable classroom environment

• Encouraging independence and confidence in pupils with autism, ADHD, SEMH and communication needs

About You

• You’re a psychology, education or social science graduate, or an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant

• You’ve got recent classroom based experience supporting children or young people with SEND

• You’re patient, reflective and emotionally aware

• You’re comfortable collaborating with teachers and wider school staff

• You’re interested in building a long-term career in education, psychology or therapy

What We Offer

• Long-term and temp-to-perm SEN Teaching Assistant roles

• £85.50 to £100 per day, depending on experience

• Weekly pay

• Ongoing SEN-focused CPD and training

• Support from consultants who specialise in SEN education

Why Sprint?

If you’re looking to work as a Year 6 teacher in a mainstream classroom, providing day-to-day supply cover, we’re probably not the agency for you. But if you’re passionate about supporting students with additional needs and want a long-term role where you can build consistency and see the impact of your work every day, that’s exactly what we do.
