Sen Teaching Assistant

1:1 SEN Teaching Assistant, Part-Time, Warwick

You won't be doing this on your own. You'd share the week with the students tutor, both working to the same plan for one Year 7 pupil. As a 1:1 SEN Teaching Assistant, you'd cover Mondays and Tuesdays, staying with him through lessons and social times, while your colleague takes Wednesday to Friday.

He has an EHCP, is neurodivergent, and is currently learning at an early level. If you've studied psychology and want to see how theory works in practice, this is the kind of role where that knowledge genuinely matters.

You'll notice patterns, understand what's driving his responses, and adapt how you work with him day to day. Before you start, his other tutor will sit down with you and talk through exactly what helps him feel settled and ready to learn.

What you'll be doing

• Providing 1:1 support to one Year 7 pupil with an EHCP across his Monday and Tuesday lessons.
• Staying with him during social times, helping him feel safe and included alongside his peers.
• Adapting tasks and explanations so learning is pitched at the right level for him.
• Observing how he responds to different approaches and feeding that back to the school team.
• Helping him stay regulated and engaged, following the strategies you share with his other tutor.
• Keeping the week consistent for him, so the handover from one day to the next feels seamless.

What you'll bring

• A degree in psychology, a Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification, or recent classroom-based experience supporting pupils with additional needs.
• An understanding of neurodivergence and how it shapes the way a young person learns and communicates.
• A calm, patient manner, and the ability to stay steady when a pupil is finding things hard.
• A genuine curiosity about the "why" behind behaviour, not just managing it but understanding it.
• Good communication, so you can work closely with his other tutor and keep the school updated.
• Reliability. This pupil does best when his support feels predictable and familiar.

What's on offer

• A part-time, ongoing role (Mondays and Tuesdays) in a mainstream Warwick school.
• A detailed handover from the pupil's existing tutor before you start.
• Real, hands-on experience working 1:1 with a neurodivergent pupil, valuable if you're considering a career in educational psychology, teaching, or therapy.
• Weekly pay through our in-house PAYE team, with the rate based on your experience and training.
• A dedicated consultant supporting you throughout. The school is hoping to welcome someone ASAP.
