TeacherActive is working with a range of mainstream primary schools across Leeds and the surrounding areas who require experienced SEND Support Staff for day-to-day and longer-term positions.

• At least 6 months' experience supporting children with SEND
• Experience within a primary school or similar educational setting
• Knowledge of additional needs including Autism/ASC and ADHD
• Experience providing 1:1 or small-group support
• Confidence supporting pupils with emotional regulation and behaviour
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships
• A patient, resilient and caring approach to supporting children

In return for the above, you can expect to receive:

• A dedicated team of consultants available 24/7 to help you with the easy onboarding process
• Guaranteed Payment Scheme Terms and Conditions apply
• CPD Courses and certificates as part of the My-Progression channel
• Market-leading rates of pay
• TeacherActive Referral Scheme – Receive up to £100 when you refer a friend Terms and Conditions apply
