Job description
UNDERSTAND. RESPOND. GROW. This September, don't just take a job-take your place at the heart of Sheffield's most inspiring specialist classrooms.

Academics Agency is on the lookout for exceptional SEN Teaching Assistants.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO (AND WHY IT MATTERS):

Be the calm in the storm-delivering responsive, in-class support for pupils with autism, ADHD, moderate learning difficulties, and communication challenges. Run targeted interventions that go beyond worksheets-boosting academic skills, social confidence, and emotional regulation in 1:1 and small-group sessions. Turn behaviour into breakthrough-using tailored guidance techniques that build self-esteem, positive choices, and genuine engagement.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR (DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?):

✔️ Level 3 TA qualified-or with substantial equivalent experience in education, childcare, or health settings. ✔️ Proven SEN experience-whether in schools, residential care, or community programmes. You've seen the challenges, and you rise to them. ✔️ Skilled in differentiation, visual supports, and assistive tech-you know the tools and when to use them. ✔️ Patient, adaptable, and solution-focused-with the communication skills to build trust with pupils, staff, and families alike. ✔️ DBS-ready-an active Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willing to obtain one fast. ✔️ Reference-perfect-with two recent, strong professional references.

WHAT ACADEMICS OFFERS YOU (BECAUSE WE VALUE WHAT YOU BRING):

£92.56 - £110 per day (holiday pay included)-with increased rates for exceptional experience, extra qualifications, or school budget flexibility. Paid weekly-reliable, consistent income, term-time only (Monday-Friday). FREE CPD-from sensory processing to positive handling and autism-friendly practice, we invest in your growth. ️ Flexible working-across a range of well-regarded specialist schools in and around Sheffield. £75 Love2Shop voucher for every successful referral you make. A dedicated consultant-who'll match you to the right placements, handle onboarding, and be your go-to for ongoing support.

THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.

If you're ready to unlock potential-not despite the challenges, but because of them-then we need to talk.

Don't wait. Places fill fast for September.

Salary will be determined by the successful candidate's qualifications and relevant experience, and will be in accordance with the client's pay policy.
