As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you'll work alongside teaching staff to support students both in the classroom and during practical vocational learning.

Students study a range of vocational and practical courses in modern learning environments, including specialist workshop and skills-based settings. The college places a strong emphasis on personalised support, employability and preparing learners for life beyond education, creating a positive and inclusive environment where every student is encouraged to achieve their potential.
We're Looking For
• A positive, patient and reliable individual
• Someone passionate about supporting young people with SEN
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A proactive team player who enjoys helping others succeed
Experience as a Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant, Support Worker, Care Worker, Youth Worker, Sports Coach or working with individuals with additional needs is beneficial but not essential.
