We're recruiting an SEN Teaching Assistant for a small, friendly specialist college in Stanwell, Staines. Learners are aged 16 to 25 with SEN and learning disabilities, working towards employability, everyday living skills and recognised qualifications.

• Use communication tools like PECS, Makaton, symbols and iPads

• Promote positive behaviour and teamwork
• Follow advice from SALT, OT and physio

What you'll need

• Experience or a real affinity for working with young adults with SEN
• Great communication and a can do attitude
• A child and adult barred list DBS, or willingness to apply
• A Level 2 Award in Education and Training, or happy to work towards one
• Nice to have: 1:1 SEN, mentoring, Makaton or PECS, Team Teach, and a driving licence, as the site isn't easy to reach by public transport

Why join as our SEN Teaching Assistant?

• Weekly pay
• Term time only, with your holidays free
