This inclusive Gateshead primary school is looking for supply teaching assistants to support pupils with additional needs. While experience with SEN is helpful, it is not essential, as training and guidance are provided.

This role suits individuals with experience in care, youth work, sports coaching, or those studying related subjects.

The Role:

  • Helping pupils engage with learning

  • Supporting routines and behaviour

  • Working closely with teachers and support staff

What’s Already in Place:

  • Clear support plans

  • Guidance from experienced staff

  • Calm and supportive environment

Essential Requirements:

  • Patience and empathy

  • Willingness to take direction

  • Availability during term time
  • Reliability

Benefits That Really Stand Out:

  • No formal experience required

  • Term-time-only supply work

  • Weekly pay

  • FREE SEN and safeguarding training

  • Opportunity for long-term SEN roles

This role offers meaningful experience and a strong foundation for future education or care-based careers.
