Do you want to make a difference in the lives of young people with special educational needs?

We are looking for a passionate and dedicated Teaching Assistant to support students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs at a unique and therapeutic school setting in Nottinghamshire (NG32).

This is not your typical classroom-based role - the school offers learning that meets the needs of pupils, whether that be classroom based or in alterante learning spaces. The focus is upon helping pupils overcome barriers and re-engage with education through nature, nurture, and trust.

What you'll be doing as a SEN Teaching Assistant:

Supporting pupils with SEN and SEMH on a 1:1 and small group basis

Encouraging learning and emotional development through outdoor activities

Helping students manage emotions, behaviour, and social interactions

Working closely with teachers, therapists, and other support staff

Assisting with personalised learning plans tailored to individual needs

Creating a safe, therapeutic, and supportive learning environment

What we're looking for:

Experience working with children or young people - especially in SEN, SEMH, or alternative education

Calm, patient and nurturing attitude

Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships

Team player with a flexible, proactive mindset

Any relevant qualification is welcome but not essential - your passion is what matters most

Why join Long Term Futures?

Consistent full-time work - no day-to-day supply

Opportunity to secure a permanent Teaching Assistant role

Trial days instead of formal interviews - see if the role is right for you

Ongoing support from your dedicated consultant

Access to free CPD training, including:

Autism Awareness

Behaviour Management

Supporting Children with SEMH
