Job Description
Five Education is seeking a compassionate and committed 1:1 Teaching Assistant to provide individualised support for pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in a primary or secondary school setting. This role is ideal for someone who is patient, resilient, and passionate about making a meaningful difference in a child’s educational journey.

You will be working closely with a pupil who requires additional support due to a specific learning difficulty, developmental delay, or social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) need. This is a vital role in helping students access learning, develop confidence, and thrive in a mainstream or specialist environment.

Key Responsibilities
Provide dedicated 1:1 support to a student with SEN, ensuring their learning is tailored to their individual needs.

Assist with lesson delivery and help the pupil stay engaged and focused.

Support the development of social skills, emotional regulation, and independence.

Work collaboratively with class teachers, SENCOs, and external professionals to implement and review individual support plans.

Encourage positive behaviour and manage challenging situations calmly and effectively.

Essential Requirements
Experience working with children or young people in a school, care, or youth setting.

Understanding of SEN, particularly Autism, ADHD, or SEMH needs.

Ability to build strong relationships with children and support their learning and emotional well-being.

Right to work in the UK.

Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply for one).

What Five Education Offers You
Transparent PAYE payroll – no umbrella or admin fees.

Free, specialised training in areas such as Team Teach, Autism Awareness, and Trauma-Informed Practice.

Ongoing support and mentoring from our experienced consultants.

Free Enhanced DBS (refunded after 20 days of work).

Recommend-a-friend bonus scheme.
