We are looking for a dedicated and resilient SEN Teaching Assistant (SEN TA) to join a large, friendly two-form entry primary school in Coventry. This role is based within the school’s specialist SEN provision, a dedicated classroom designed to support and welcome pupils with severe additional needs.

You’ll be working closely with an experienced class teacher and a supportive team to provide tailored learning and emotional support to a small group of 6 pupils, ensuring they can thrive in a positive and nurturing environment.

• Provide 1:1 and small group support to pupils with complex and diverse learning needs
• Assist in the planning and delivery of individualised learning programmes
• Support behaviour management and help pupils develop social and communication skills
• Collaborate with teachers, therapists, and families to ensure consistent support
• Contribute to a safe, inclusive, and stimulating learning environment

This is a challenging yet incredibly rewarding role — no two days will be the same. We are looking for someone who is:

• Qualified in SEN (or has relevant training and experience in special needs education)
• Experienced in working with children with additional and complex needs
• Resilient, patient, and calm under pressure
• Empathetic and understanding, with a genuine passion for helping every child reach their potential
• Thick-skinned, able to remain positive and professional in the face of challenging behaviour

• Work within a well-resourced, inclusive school that values teamwork and professional development
• Be part of a committed and compassionate staff team
• Make a real difference to the lives of children who need support the most

If you’re passionate about special education and ready to take on a rewarding new challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
