Smile Education are currently recruiting for a dedicated and compassionate SEN Teaching Assistant to support a Year 1 pupil on a 1:1 basis in a welcoming primary school in Burntwood (WS7).

This role is mornings only and will run until the end of the summer term. The child you will be supporting is currently working at an Early Years developmental level and is not taught within the main classroom, so the role will involve providing tailored, individualised support in a quieter learning environment.

  • Supporting with communication, engagement and emotional regulation
  • Working closely with the class teacher and SENCO to implement support strategies
  • Creating a safe, positive and encouraging learning environment
The Ideal Candidate
  • Experience supporting children with Special Educational Needs (SEN)
  • Background in Early Years or primary education is desirable
  • Patient, nurturing and able to build positive relationships with pupils
  • Confident supporting children outside of the main classroom environment
Why Work as an SEN Teaching Assistant?

Working as an SEN Teaching Assistant is one of the most rewarding roles within education. You have the opportunity to make a genuine difference to a child’s learning, confidence and daily school experience. Watching a pupil develop new skills, grow in independence and achieve milestones—no matter how small—can be incredibly fulfilling.

Why Work with Smile Education?
  • Support from a dedicated education consultant
  • Opportunities within local schools
  • A chance to gain valuable SEN experience
If you are a caring, supportive individual who is passionate about helping children reach their potential, we would love to hear from you.
