About the Role

We are seeking a caring, patient and enthusiastic Special Educational Needs Teaching Assistant (SEN TA) to join our friendly and supportive primary school team. This is a full-time position working 1:1 with a child in Key Stage 1 who has ADHD and displays demand avoidance behaviours.

The successful candidate will work closely with the class teacher, SENDCo and external professionals to help the child engage positively in learning, develop self-regulation skills, and make progress both academically and socially.

Experienced in supporting children with additional needs, particularly ADHD or PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance), or willing to learn.
Calm, patient and able to think creatively to overcome challenges.
Skilled at building positive, trusting relationships with children.
A team player who can communicate effectively with colleagues and parents.
Committed to supporting every child to achieve their potential.
Relevant qualifications (e.g. Level 2/3 Teaching Assistant or equivalent) are desirable but not essential for the right candidate with strong experience and the right attitude.

In return for the above you can expect to receive:

· A dedicated team of consultants available 24/7 to help you with the easy onboarding process
