Are you passionate about supporting children and looking for an opportunity to make a genuine difference in their day-to-day lives?

We are currently working with a welcoming and inclusive specialist school in Abbots Langley that is looking for a caring, patient, and enthusiastic Unqualified SEND Teaching Assistant to join their supportive team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with experience working with children who wants to develop their skills in a specialist education and SEND environment. You do not need a formal Teaching Assistant or SEND qualification - what matters most is your experience, attitude and genuine commitment to helping children thrive.

About the Role

As a SEND Teaching Assistant, you will work alongside experienced teachers and support staff across a range of classes. You will support pupils with additional needs, helping them engage with learning, build confidence, and become more independent.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing 1:1, small-group and classroom support to pupils.
• Helping children with SEND access learning and participate in classroom activities.
• Supporting teachers with engaging, accessible and inclusive lessons.
• Encouraging pupils to build confidence, independence and positive relationships.
• Creating a calm, safe and encouraging learning environment.
• Supporting pupils with their social, emotional and educational development.
• Observing pupils and sharing relevant feedback with teachers and other staff.
• Working as part of a close-knit team to ensure pupils receive consistent and effective support.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is caring, reliable and genuinely passionate about working with children.

You Will Need:

• At least 3 months' experience working with children in the UK - essential.
• Previous experience in a school, nursery, childcare, tutoring, youth work or SEND setting is desirable.
• A genuine interest in working with children with SEND.
• A patient, positive and supportive approach.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.
• An enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or a willingness to obtain one.
• The ability to commute to Abbots Langley or live locally.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This role is ideal for someone looking to build a career in education or SEND while gaining hands-on experience in a specialist school environment.

You will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced education professionals, develop your understanding of SEND, and play an important role in helping pupils overcome challenges, enjoy learning, and reach their potential.

If you have experience working with children in the UK and are ready to take the next step towards a rewarding career in education, we would love to hear from you.
