PK Education is recruiting a SEND Teaching Assistant to work in specialist schools across the Sheffield area. You’ll support children who may display low-level challenging behaviour, using sensory equipment and activities to help them engage in learning and feel comfortable in the classroom.

• Support pupils one-to-one and in small groups, following their individual needs and routines

• Use sensory resources to encourage engagement, communication and regulation

• Respond to behaviour calmly and consistently, working alongside the class teacher and wider team

• Provide personal care when required, with dignity and respect

• Experience working with children with SEND in a school or another professional setting

• A patient, adaptable approach and experience supporting low-level challenging behaviour

• An enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one to work in schools

• Willingness to travel up to an hour to reach specialist school placements

We take time to match education professionals with roles where they can make a difference. You’ll have support from a dedicated consultant throughout your placement, competitive rates of pay and access to opportunities in local schools.

If you’re passionate about supporting children with additional needs, we’d love to hear from you. Contact Amy at (url removed) or call (phone number removed) to find out more.
