Long Term Futures are currently recruiting for a SEND Teaching Assistant to join a well-established specialist provision in Newark (NG24 3NE). This is a full-time opportunity to work within a highly supportive and structured environment, focused on helping students reach their full potential.

The setting supports pupils aged 5–19 with a wide range of needs including autism, SEMH, communication difficulties, and complex learning needs. All students have an EHCP, and benefit from small class sizes, high staff-to-student ratios, and a personalised approach to learning.

The provision places a strong emphasis on creating a calm, nurturing environment where pupils feel safe and supported.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide 1:1 and small group support to pupils with SEND
• Support lesson delivery and classroom activities
• Manage behaviour and promote a positive learning environment
• Adapt support to meet individual needs (EHCPs)
• Encourage engagement, confidence, and independence
• Follow safeguarding procedures at all times

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience supporting children with SEND (school or care setting)
• Strong behaviour management and communication skills
• A patient, calm and proactive approach
• Ability to build positive relationships with pupils and staff
• A genuine passion for supporting young people
