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
Working within our SEN Hub, you will provide 1:1 and small group support for Early Years pupils with complex additional needs. This role requires a blend of educational scaffolding, sensory regulation, and physical care.
Your Key Responsibilities:
*1:1 Developmental Support: Implementing tailored learning plans for pupils with complex SEN.

*Personal Care & Well-being: Providing essential support (toileting/changing) with the utmost dignity and respect.

*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.
