SEN TA - Supply

Can you see past challenging behaviour to the vulnerable child underneath?

Do you thrive on the small victories, like a non-verbal child making eye contact or a student finally completing a full task?

Are you the calm, consistent role model that a young person in crisis desperately needs?

If you answered "yes" to these questions, Randstad Education is looking for you. We are currently experiencing a high demand for SEN Teaching Assistants to support our partner Primary and Secondary schools across Bradford
.

The need for specialist support in Bradford is growing. We are looking for individuals who are not just looking for a job, but for a chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of children with Autism megap (ASC), ADHD, Social Emotional & Mental Health (SEMH) needs, and complex learning difficulties.

Working on supply in SEN means no two days are the same. Whether you are in a mainstream school's "Resourced Provision" or a specialist SILC, your role is vital.

• 1:1 Support: Acting as the primary support for a specific child, ensuring they are safe, happy, and accessing learning.
• Emotional Regulation: Using de-escalation strategies (experience with Team Teach is a bonus) to help students manage their emotions and anxiety.
• Adaptability: Modifying work to make it accessible, using visual timetables, sensory breaks, or creative play.
• Barriers to Learning: Supporting students who may have English as an Additional Language (EAL) alongside their SEN needs.

• We Pay You Properly: We operate a strict PAYE system. You earn your preferred daily rate without umbrella companies taking a cut.
• Local Work: We understand Bradford geography. We try to keep you in the postcodes that work for you, avoiding cross-city traffic where possible.
• Flexibility: Manage your own diary via our app. If you need a week off to recharge, you simply mark yourself unavailable.
• Training: Access to free CPD training to boost your CV and skills in the classroom. Hing>

• Experience: Previous experience supporting children or adults with additional needs is essential (this could be in care, residential settings, youth work, or education).
• Attitude: You must be resilient, patient, and non-judgmental. A good sense of humor helps, too!
• Vetting: A valid Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or the willingness to apply for one immediately).
• References: Two professional references that can vouch for your ability to work with vulnerable people.

There are children in Bradford waiting for a supportive adult who won't give up on them. Be that person.
