📍 Slough
💰 £85–£100 per day
🕰️ Full-time | ASAP Start
Are you passionate about supporting children and young people with complex learning and physical needs? We’re looking for a caring, patient and resilient Teaching Assistant to join a specialist school in Slough that provides tailored education for pupils with a range of additional needs.
About the Role:
You’ll work closely with children and young people who have complex needs, which may include severe learning difficulties (SLD), physical disabilities, sensory impairments, communication challenges, and medical needs. Your role will involve providing classroom support, personal care assistance, and contributing to a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment.
What You’ll Be Doing:
✨ Supporting pupils in the classroom and during activities
✨ Assisting with personal care, mobility and feeding when required
✨ Using specialist equipment and communication aids
✨ Encouraging pupils’ independence, confidence, and social skills
✨ Working collaboratively with teachers, therapists, and medical staff
Why This Role Matters:
Every day you’ll help children overcome barriers, celebrate their unique achievements, and access opportunities many take for granted. It’s a role where patience and kindness go a long way — and where small victories are deeply meaningful.
What’s in It for You?
✔️ Hands-on experience working with a diverse range of complex needs
✔️ Full training provided including manual handling, personal care, and communication support techniques
✔️ A supportive, close-knit school team and ongoing CPD opportunities
✔️ An ideal platform for careers in SEN education, care, therapy or health services
About You:
✅ Caring, calm, and compassionate
✅ Able to stay patient and positive in challenging situations
✅ Experience working with additional needs or personal care (desirable but not essential — attitude is key!)
✅ Available for a full-time, ASAP start
