Sen Teaching Assistant

Job Description:

Job Advert: SEN TA (Part time)
Location: Derby
Daily pay rate: £90-£120
Start Date: 5th Jan

As part of the education personnel team, I’m excited to share this opportunity to join one of our dedicated schools as a SEN TA. This school is a specialist setting that provides a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children and young people aged 4 to 19, all of whom have an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP). These pupils have a diverse range of special educational needs, including autism, and every member of our team plays a vital role in helping them flourish.

About the Role

We’re looking for someone compassionate, resilient, and ready to make a meaningful difference. As a SEN TA, you’ll support pupils in their learning, social development, and wellbeing, working closely with teachers, therapists, and other specialists to create an environment where every child can succeed.

Why Join This Department?

Working within our specialist provision comes with rewards that go far beyond the job title:

• Impactful Work – Every day brings the chance to genuinely change a young person’s life, helping them overcome barriers and celebrate achievements others might take for granted.

• Collaborative Team Culture – You will work alongside passionate professionals who support each other, share expertise, and celebrate successes together.

• Professional Growth – Staff are encouraged and supported to develop their practice in SEN, autism, behaviour support, and child development—skills that are highly valued across the education sector.

• A Positive Environment – This school prioritizes wellbeing for both pupils and staff, offering a warm, inclusive atmosphere where creativity, patience, and teamwork thrive.                                                                                                                                                                                Interested?

If you’d like to know more about the role or the school, please feel free to get in touch with Daniel Griffith, Education Personnel.

We’d love to hear from people who are committed to making a difference and want to be part of a supportive, impactful educational community.
