Do you have the patience, empathy and resilience to help a young person overcome barriers and achieve something they didn't think was possible?
Aspire People are working with a range of SEND schools, specialist provisions, resource bases and alternative settings across St Helens and the surrounding areas, and we're looking for dedicated SEND Teaching Assistants to join them throughout the autumn term, with schools needing immediate starts.
With opportunities across primary, secondary and college settings, there are roles to suit different experience levels and interests.
No Two Days Are the Same
Depending on the setting, you could be supporting pupils with:
Autism (ASC)
ADHD
SEMH
MLD, SLD or PMLD
Speech, language and communication needs
Sensory or physical needs
Complex and additional learning needs
Your day could involve 1:1 support, small-group activities, communication and sensory work, life skills, classroom learning or helping pupils develop independence and confidence.
Some settings may also involve personal care, depending on the needs of the pupils.
You'll work closely with teachers, SENCOs, therapists and wider support teams to provide consistent, individualised support.
Experience in SEND Isn't Essential
