If you’re the kind of person who notices the quiet kid having a wobbly moment before anyone else does, this might be the perfect role for you.

We’re looking for a calm, caring SEN Teaching Assistant to join a brilliant school that really gets the importance of consistent support. You’ll be working closely with pupils who need an extra bit of reassurance and structure, helping them feel safe, understood, and ready to learn each day.

What you’ll be doing

  • Supporting pupils with additional needs, including autism, ADHD, and social and emotional needs

  • Working 1:1 or in small groups to build confidence and independence

  • Creating a predictable, nurturing space where pupils can thrive

  • Teaming up with teachers, the SENCO, and therapists to keep everything running smoothly

What we’re looking for

  • Experience supporting children or adults with SEND

  • A calm, patient approach even when the day goes sideways

  • Someone who’s great at building trust and strong relationships

  • Good communication, empathy, and a positive attitude

What you get with Protocol Education

  • Weekly pay through PAYE, no umbrella surprises

  • Free access to our online CPD Academy, including behaviour and SEND training

  • Your own consultant who actually listens

  • Long-term roles in supportive schools that value their support staff

  • Referral rewards if you send your mates our way

If you’re passionate about helping young people feel seen, safe, and supported, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and let’s find a role that feels right for you.
