Teaching Assistant – SEN / SEMH

📌 Job Details (Teaching Assistant – SEN/SEMH)

We are currently recruiting for a Teaching Assistant to join a specialist school setting in Leicestershire , near Market Bosworth.

This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about supporting young people and wants to make a genuine difference on a daily basis. You’ll be working with pupils with additional needs, including SEMH and ASD, supporting them both in the classroom and on a 1:1 basis.

This isn’t a typical classroom role – it can be challenging at times, but also incredibly rewarding. Progress may look different here, and even small steps forward can be a big achievement. The right person will be patient, resilient and able to build strong, positive relationships with students.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting students in lessons and on a 1:1 basis
• Assisting the teacher with classroom activities and behaviour management
• Helping students stay engaged and focused on their learning
• Supporting students’ social and emotional development
• Creating a safe, structured and positive learning environment

What we’re looking for:

• A positive, proactive attitude and willingness to get involved
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Experience working with children or young people (school-based preferred but not essential)
• An interest in SEN, SEMH or supporting vulnerable learners
• Resilience and the ability to remain calm under pressure

What’s on offer:

• Salary up to £27,528
• Full-time, permanent role
• Ongoing training and development
• Supportive team environment
• Opportunity to build a long-term career in education

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to get into education or develop their experience within a specialist setting. If you’re someone who wants a role where you can genuinely make an impact, we’d love to hear from you.
