TeacherActive is proud to be working with a specialist SEND school in Swindon that provides exceptional education and care for children and young people with profound and multiple learning difficulties, Autism, sensory impairments, physical disabilities, and complex medical needs.

• Work closely with teachers, therapists, and external professionals as part of a multi-disciplinary team

The Ideal Candidate Will Have

• Experience supporting children with complex SEND and/or physical disabilities

• Knowledge of or interest in sensory processing, communication strategies, or medical support

• Experience supporting pupils with SEMH and behavioural needs

• Level 2 or 3 CACHE qualification (or equivalent)

• Team-Teach or MAPA training (desirable, but not essential)

• A calm, adaptable, and resilient nature, with a strong sense of empathy

What You’ll Receive

• A dedicated consultant available 24/7 to support you from application to placement

• Guaranteed Payment Scheme (T&Cs apply)

• Access to CPD courses and My-Progression certificates

• Market-leading rates of pay

• Referral scheme – earn up to £100 for recommending a friend (T&Cs apply)
