1:1 Teaching Assistant

2 days ago

Kendal LA, United Kingdom Sense Education Full time

We have a position in the kendal area to support a primary aged pupil 1:1

The role is based in a dynamic, nurturing primary school with a supportive staffing team. You will be working closely with the class teacher to ensure the pupils needs are met.

The pupil requires emotional support to stay engaged in the classroom. This is a full time, long-term role starting as soon as possible and offers the chance to make a meaningful difference during a key transition year.

About the Role

You'll be working closely with one pupil to provide consistent emotional support and help them reintegrate into classroom life following a recent period of time out due to emotional distress. Your role will be to:

  • Offer calm, patient 1:1 support to help the child feel safe and understood
  • Use trauma-informed strategies to support emotional regulation throughout the day
  • Encourage participation in learning while respecting the child's emotional needs
  • Work closely with the SENCO, class teacher, and wider team to follow a consistent, individualised plan
  • Be a trusted adult the pupil can rely on during times of dysregulation

Who We're Looking For

This role is ideal for someone with experience supporting pupils with SEMH, especially those affected by trauma. You'll need to be emotionally resilient, reliable and nurturing, with a calm presence and strong instincts for when a child needs space, structure, or connection. Ideally, you bring:

  • Have a TA qualification or equivalent.
  • A compassionate, non-judgemental approach
  • The ability to build trust and provide consistent, relationship-based support
  • A relevant background in education, care, or youth work
