Are you an experienced Teaching Assistant with a passion for supporting children with SEND?

Teaching Personnel are working with a welcoming primary school in Honiton who are looking for a committed and experienced SEND Teaching Assistant to join their team from October 2026.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is looking for full-time, consistent work and wants to become an important part of a school community. You will have the opportunity to build strong relationships with pupils, work closely with experienced teaching staff and make a genuine difference to children's progress, confidence and independence.

About the Role

As a SEND Teaching Assistant, you will provide dedicated support to pupils with a range of additional needs, helping them to feel confident, included and able to access their education.

You may be supporting pupils on a 1:1 basis, working with small groups or providing support within the wider classroom, depending on the needs of the pupils.

The school is looking for someone who can bring experience, patience and confidence to the role and who understands that effective SEND support is about much more than simply helping a child complete their work.
