Special Educational Needs Teaching Assistant (SEN/ SEND TA) - Autism (ASD)/ SEMH Anxiety
Here at Axis, we are searching for a caring Special Educational Needs Teaching Assistant (SEN/ SEND TA) to work in a large, bustling primary school in Taunton. The school prides itself on its diversity and creativity, particularly in performing arts and music! You will fit right in if you enjoy singing, dancing, and painting and have a positive outlook on life!
This role involves working 1:1 with an autistic child with anxiety. They are calm and loving but need support and reassurance. Your role will be to support them during school hours while also building and maintaining a constructive rapport to help them manage their anxiety and develop independence. The child is currently in Y4 and has previously struggled with selective mutism in Y1, but this has not occurred since.
This full-time TA role is from Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with pay rates starting at £84.30 per day, depending on experience. The role is to start ASAP, and the school is eager to offer a permanent position for the right candidate to provide consistency for the child.
No experience or qualifications are necessary for this role; however, experience with mental health needs (SEMH), particularly anxiety or selective mutism, would be advantageous!
