Do you love helping children feel safe, supported, and ready to learn? We’re looking for a caring SEND Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming school community in Shrewsbury.

This is a role where the little moments matter. The calm reassurance, the quiet wins, the progress that doesn’t always show up on paper but means everything to a child.

• Helping children access learning in a way that works for them

• Working closely with teachers and specialists to keep support consistent

What we’re looking for

• Experience working with children, especially within SEND settings

• A patient, kind approach and the ability to build trust

• Strong communication skills and a real team mindset

• Relevant qualifications are great, but not essential

What’s in it for you

• Competitive pay, based on experience and qualifications

• Ongoing training and development opportunities

• A friendly, supportive environment where your work is appreciated
