SEND Teaching Assistants Required

Location: Wellingborough & Kettering area

Start Date: September 2026

Contract: Full-time, Permanent

Are you passionate about supporting children with additional needs and helping them thrive in the classroom?

We are currently recruiting dedicated SEND Teaching Assistants to join welcoming SEND schools across the Wellingborough and Kettering area from September 2026. These permanent, full-time opportunities are ideal for individuals who are passionate about supporting primary-aged pupils with communication needs and autism.

The Role

As a SEND Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with pupils, teachers and the wider support team to provide tailored support that enables children to access learning, develop their communication skills and build confidence.

You may be supporting pupils on a 1:1 basis, in small groups or within the classroom, helping them to engage with learning and develop their independence.

Key Responsibilities

  • Supporting primary-aged pupils with autism and communication needs
  • Providing 1:1 and small-group support where required
  • Supporting pupils to access the curriculum and participate in school life
  • Developing positive relationships with pupils and helping them build confidence
  • Using a calm, patient and consistent approach to support behaviour and communication
  • Working closely with class teachers, SEND staff and families
  • Encouraging pupils’ independence and personal development

About You

We are looking for individuals who are:

  • Passionate about supporting children with SEND
  • Patient, compassionate and resilient
  • Confident working with primary-aged children
  • Able to build positive and trusting relationships
  • Interested in autism, communication and additional needs
  • Experienced in education, care, support work or a similar setting — or keen to develop a career in SEND

Relevant experience is desirable, but a positive attitude, willingness to learn and genuine commitment to supporting children are equally important.

What’s on Offer

  • Full-time, permanent employment
  • September 2026 start
  • Opportunities across the Wellingborough and Kettering area
  • The opportunity to make a genuine difference to children’s lives
  • Supportive school environments and professional development opportunities
