Some children need more than classroom support. They need someone patient, consistent and determined to help them succeed.
Spencer Clarke Group is recruiting an experienced and compassionate SEN Teaching Assistant to join a supportive primary school in Blackpool. You will work closely with pupils who may have autism, ADHD, communication needs, social and emotional difficulties or challenging behaviour.
This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who can build trust, provide structure and help children feel safe, included and ready to learn.

In this role, you could be:

• 
  Supporting a pupil on a one-to-one basis

  Supporting pupils during lessons, transitions and social times

  Encouraging independence, confidence and positive relationships

  Working alongside teachers, the SENCO and external professionals
• 
  Monitoring progress and adapting support to meet individual needs

Previous experience may have been gained through:

• 
  Primary or specialist school settings

  Residential care or support work
• 
  Youth work or mentoring
•
