Description
Looking for work that fits around your lifestyle, but still makes a real difference? We’re recruiting Flexible Teaching Assistants to support pupils with additional needs across specialist and mainstream school settings in and around Taunton.
This role is ideal if you want meaningful, hands-on experience in education or SEND support, while keeping flexibility for other commitments such as study, family, or hobbies.
About the work:
You’ll be supporting children and young people with SEMH needs, autism and learning disabilities. Placements may be in specialist settings or within SEN provisions attached to mainstream schools. Because support is needed in different locations, you must be a driver with your own transport.
Each placement offers something different — from supporting learning in small groups to helping pupils manage emotions, routines and daily school life. Some roles may involve personal care, depending on the needs of the pupils.
What the role offers:
• Flexible work – choose full-time or part-time to suit your lifestyle
• Hours: 8:30am–3:30pm, weekdays
• Pay: £13.70 per hour
• Start: ASAP
• Opportunities for longer-term or permanent roles where placements are a good fit
• Valuable experience across a range of school settings
This role is a fantastic way to:
• Build practical experience in SEN and education
• Develop skills in communication, behaviour support and emotional regulation
• Work alongside experienced teachers and support staff
• Explore career paths in teaching, psychology, mental health, youth work or care
No two days are the same — and every placement helps you grow your confidence and capability.
We’re seeking people who are:
• Kind, patient and emotionally resilient
• Adaptable and comfortable working in new environments
• Motivated by helping children who need extra support
This role suits graduates, youth workers, sports coaches, support workers, aspiring teachers — or anyone with experience (formal or informal) working with young people. Experience is valued, but your attitude and values matter most.
If you want flexible, purposeful work that develops your skills and fits around your life, this could be the perfect role for you.
Apply today to be considered for this role.
