Job Description:
Learning Support Assistant - Specialist SEN College | Coventry (CV4) | Full-Time | From £90/day (PAYE)
Are you someone who believes in the potential of every young person-regardless of the challenges they face?
At Long Term Futures, we're excited to be working with a forward-thinking specialist college in Coventry that supports young adults aged 16-25 with complex additional needs, including Autism, physical disabilities, and profound learning difficulties. We're on the lookout for a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant who can bring energy, patience, and compassion to this rewarding role.
This is more than just a classroom position-it's an opportunity to support students in building independence, confidence, and real-world skills that will serve them well beyond college life.
What You'll Be Doing
Supporting students on a one-to-one basis and in small groups, tailoring your approach to suit individual learning needs.
Helping young people develop life skills both in and out of the classroom.
Encouraging student independence through inclusive and accessible learning activities.
Supporting emotional, social, and communication development in a nurturing environment.
Working collaboratively with teachers, therapists, and wider support teams to create consistency and success for each learner.
Who You Are
Passionate about working with young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN), especially in a post-16 environment.
Experience is helpful but not essential - your attitude, resilience, and willingness to learn matter most.
Patient, empathetic, and confident in promoting positive behaviour and engagement.
Strong communicator who thrives as part of a close-knit, supportive team.
A Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant qualification is great to have, but not required.
Why Join Long Term Futures?
A dedicated consultant supporting you from start to finish.
Access to a network of specialist SEN roles across the Midlands.
Ongoing CPD and career development opportunities tailored to your goals.
Competitive daily rates with PAYE pay - no hidden deductions.
Streamlined onboarding to get you started quickly and confidently.
