Long-Term SEN Teaching Assistant
📍 Wilburton, Cambridgeshire
📅 Long-term position | Immediate start available

Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of young people? Do you thrive in a supportive, nurturing environment where no two days are the same?

We are looking for a dedicated and compassionate SEN Teaching Assistant to join a vibrant SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) school located in the beautiful village of Wilburton, Cambridgeshire.

About the Role:


You will work closely with experienced teachers and support staff to help students achieve their full potential-academically, socially, and emotionally. This is a long-term opportunity to become a valued member of a passionate team that puts the wellbeing and progress of every child at the heart of everything they do.

Key Responsibilities:



  • Provide tailored support to students with a range of special educational needs


  • Assist in creating a positive, inclusive and supportive learning environment


  • Support students on a 1:1 or small group basis, as required


  • Help manage behaviour in line with school policies and build strong, trusting relationships

What We're Looking For:



  • Experience working with children or young people with special educational needs, ideally within an SEMH setting (desirable but not essential)


  • A calm, patient, and empathetic approach


  • A team player with a genuine passion for supporting young people


  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills

Why Join Us?



  • Work in a welcoming and picturesque village school with a dedicated and friendly team


  • Enjoy ongoing professional development and training opportunities


  • Be part of a school community that values inclusion, respect and resilience

  • An Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check is required for this role

This is a truly rewarding role where you will see the impact of your support every single day. Whether you're an experienced TA or looking to take your first step into a career in special education, we would love to hear from you!
