About this role

SEN Teaching Assistants Required - Specialist Schools in King's Lynn

Are you a compassionate, resilient, and patient individual looking for a rewarding role in education? Do you want a job where you can make a profound difference to a child's day, every single day?

We are seeking dedicated SEN Teaching Assistants for flexible, day-to-day cover at specialist schools and alternative provisions in King's Lynn and the surrounding West Norfolk area.

This role is perfect for experienced SEND professionals, support workers looking to transition into education, or individuals with a genuine passion for supporting children with complex needs, including Autism (ASD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

The Role

Day-to-Day SEN Support

-

Ultimate Flexibility

Choose exactly which days you want to work to fit around your personal commitments, studies, or lifestyle.

-

Impactful Support

Work alongside specialised class teachers to guide pupils through their sensory, academic, and emotional schedules.

-

Diverse Experiences

No two days are the same. You will support pupils across various age groups with uniquely tailored learning and communication styles.

What We Are Looking For

-

A patient, nurturing, and robust nature-specialist environments require high emotional resilience and a calm demeanour.

-

Experience supporting children or adults with additional needs (experience with non-verbal communication, sensory processing, or de-escalation strategies is highly valued).

-

Excellent teamwork and communication skills to collaborate effectively with school therapists and teachers.

-

An adaptable mindset, ready to dive into different classrooms and quickly build a safe rapport with pupils.

-

A valid Enhanced DBS check registered on the Update Service (or a willingness to apply for one).

What Is in it for You?

-

Competitive daily rates of pay, paid weekly.

-

Free access to specialist training modules to boost your CPD (such as safeguarding, introductory autism awareness, and behaviour management).

-

A dedicated local consultant who understands the King's Lynn education landscape.

-

The chance to discover different local provisions-daily supply is a fantastic opportunity if you are ultimately looking for a permanent SEN contract.

-

A deeply rewarding work environment where every small victory is celebrated.

Ready to step into a role with real purpose?
