A small specialist SEND school in Guildford is seeking a dedicated, patient and compassionate SEND Teaching Assistant to join their team as soon as possible. This is a full-time, temp-to-perm opportunity, working Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 3:30pm, with a daily rate of £92.63. The school caters for pupils of all ages with a range of special educational needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), alongside other complex needs. The successful candidate will provide tailored support to pupils both in and out of the classroom, helping them to engage with learning, develop independence and access the wider school environment. Some pupils may present challenging behaviours, so the ability to remain calm, patient and consistent, with confidence in supporting behaviour management and de-escalation, is essential. Personal care duties are also a requirement of the role. Previous experience working with children or young people with SEND is highly desirable, particularly those with autism and additional needs. Due to the school's remote location, candidates must ideally be confident drivers with access to their own transport.
