SEN Teaching Assistant – Horley

Location: Horley | Type: Full-Time | Schedule: Term-Time Only

Are you passionate about turning “disability” into “possibility”?

At Randstad Education, we believe that every child deserves a champion-someone who understands that “special needs” simply means finding a different way to succeed. We are currently recruiting for a welcoming and inclusive school in Horley looking for a confident, committed, and empathetic SEN Teaching Assistant to join their dedicated support team.

If you are a firm believer that behavior is communication and you have the patience to find the “root cause” behind the challenge, this is the role for you.

The Role: Impacting Lives Daily

Your day-to-day will involve more than just supervision; it’s about building the bridges that allow children with complex needs to cross into successful learning.

1:1 & Small Group Support: Tailoring your approach to meet the specific sensory and academic needs of pupils.
*

Diverse Needs Specialist: Supporting children with ASC (Autism), ADHD, SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health), and Speech & Language requirements.
*

EHCP Implementation: Bringing Education, Health and Care Plans to life by turning formal targets into creative, achievable classroom wins.
*

Co-Regulation & Support: Assisting with behavior management by staying calm in the storm and helping children return to a “ready to learn” state.
*

Collaborative Practice: Working as the “right hand” to the Class Teacher and SENCo to ensure a seamless, safe, and tidy learning environment.

Who We Are Looking For:

We need a practitioner who doesn’t just “manage” a classroom, but nurtures the individuals within it.

x2714; Proven SEN Experience: Essential school-based experience supporting neurodivergent learners.
*

x2714; The “Investigative” Mindset: A strong understanding of autism and the ability to recognize triggers before they escalate.
*

x2714; Proactive Patience: A calm, steady presence-someone who uses a “firm but gentle” voice and avoids the need for shouting.
*

x2714; Communication Tools: Experience with Makaton, PECS, or visual timetables is a massive advantage.
*

x2714; DBS: An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness for one).

Why Join the Randstad Horley Team?

Supportive Community: Join a school environment that values its staff as much as its students.
*

Growth Opportunities: Potential for long-term placements and ongoing professional development.
*

Competitive Pay: Enjoy daily rates that reflect your specialized skills and experience.
*

Dedicated Consultant: You’ll have a specialist consultant to support you throughout your placement journey.
