Posted 11/05/2026 by Aspire People
Aspire People are recruiting for a compassionate and proactive Level 2 SEND Teaching Assistant to support pupils within a welcoming and inclusive primary school.
This role involves supporting children with a range of additional needs including ASD, ADHD, speech and language difficulties, and SEMH needs. The successful candidate will work closely alongside the class teacher and SENCO to help pupils access learning, develop confidence, and build positive relationships within the classroom environment.
The school is looking for someone who can provide both classroom support and targeted intervention work, while also adapting to the varying needs of pupils throughout the school day. While some individual support may be required, this is primarily a general classroom-based SEND support role.
The Role:
* Supporting pupils with SEND across the classroom environment
* Delivering small-group intervention sessions in literacy and numeracy
* Assisting with emotional regulation and behaviour support strategies
* Supporting pupils during structured learning and transition periods
* Working collaboratively with teaching staff and external professionals
* Encouraging pupil independence, confidence, and engagement
The Ideal Candidate Will:
* Hold a Level 2 Teaching Assistant qualification (or equivalent education-based qualification/training)
* Have recent experience working within a UK primary school within the last 2 years
* Have experience supporting children with additional needs
* Be patient, adaptable, and calm under pressure
* Have strong communication and teamwork skills
* Be committed to safeguarding and inclusive education
Why Work with Aspire People?
* Competitive daily rates
* Long-term opportunities within supportive schools
* Ongoing consultant support
* Access to CPD and training opportunities
* Opportunities for progression within education settings
If you are passionate about supporting children with SEND and have recent UK school-based experience, we would love to hear from you.
