Are you an inspirational educator looking to make a real-life impact?

We are seeking a resilient and enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistant to join our specialised EYFS SEN Hub at a thriving Academy in Blackpool. This is not just a "classroom assistant" role; it is an opportunity to be the literal bridge between a child's challenges and their breakthroughs.

The Role: Beyond the Basics

Proactive Engagement: Staying "on your feet" in a high-energy, physically active EYFS environment.

Sensory & Communication: Utilising non-verbal cues and sensory triggers to maintain a calm, productive learning atmosphere.

What We Are Looking For (Requirements)

To succeed in this Blackpool-based Teaching Assistant role, you should possess:

Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant Qualification (Preferred).

SEN Specialisms: Experience with Makaton, PECS, or Visual Timetables is highly desirable.

Behavioural Expertise: Knowledge of de-escalation techniques and positive behaviour support.

EYFS Knowledge: A solid understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage and "small-step" progress tracking.

Reliability: Our pupils thrive on routine; we need a consistent, "can-do" professional who is ready to commit.

Why Join This EYFS Hub?

This Academy is renowned in the FY4 area for its inclusive ethos. You will join a supportive team that celebrates every victory, no matter how small. We offer a welcoming environment where your professional development in SEN is prioritised.
