Location: Wavertree / Toxteth, Liverpool

Contract: Term-time only, full or part time (Temp-to-perm)

Position: SEND Teaching Assistant / Support Staff

Salary: per day PAYE

About The School
This specialist primary SEND setting supports children aged 4-11 with severe learning difficulties, often alongside complex medical needs, autism, and communication challenges. Many pupils are non-verbal and require a calm, structured and nurturing environment to help them feel safe, valued and ready to learn.

The school focuses on developing independence, communication, life skills and confidence through a personalised and highly supported curriculum.

Why Your Background Matters

If you have worked with children with SEND outside of a school setting (for example in care, therapy, health or community settings) your experience, compassion and understanding are incredibly valuable.

You may not have worked in a classroom before, but if you understand dignity, patience, communication and consistency, this could be the perfect next step for you.

  • Are patient, nurturing and emotionally resilient
  • Can build trusting, positive relationships
  • Are calm, observant and responsive to individual needs
  • Work well within a multi-disciplinary team

What You'll Be Doing

  • Supporting children with severe learning needs in small-group and one-to-one settings
  • Assisting with personal care, feeding and mobility support
  • Helping deliver sensory, communication and life-skills-based activities
  • Supporting behaviour, emotional regulation and social development
  • Working alongside teachers, therapists and support staff to meet each child's care and learning needs
  • Celebrating every achievement, no matter how small

What's On Offer

  • Term-time only hours that fit well around family life
  • A calm and supportive working environment
  • Ongoing training and development in SEND and medical care
  • Experience working in a well-established and respected setting
  • 100 joining bonus after 10 shifts
  • 250 refer-a-friend scheme

Who Should Apply

This Role Would Suit People From Backgrounds Such As

  • Care and support work
  • Health and social care
  • Therapy or family support roles
  • Youth and community work
  • Nursery, childcare or early years settings

Personal experience supporting a child with SEND
