1:1 SEN Teaching Assistant - Complex Needs, Coventry Some children need more than just support. They need someone steady. Someone who turns up every single day with the same calm energy, the same patient approach, and the genuine belief that progress is possible, even when it's slow. That's what this role is about. You'll be working 1:1 with a Year 2 pupil who has a diagnosis of autism and an EHCP. They're a lovely child who responds well to sensory activities, nursery rhymes, and familiar routines. Recently, their needs have become more complex, and the school is looking for someone with the experience and confidence to meet that complexity without flinching. This is a long-term, full-time position starting as soon as possible at a mainstream primary school in Coventry (CV2). You'll be working within a dedicated provision alongside three other adults, with daily support from the school's SENCO. What you'll be doing: Providing dedicated 1:1 support to a Year 2 pupil with autism and an EHCP throughout the school day Building a consistent, trusted relationship that helps the pupil feel regulated and safe Using agreed strategies including sensory-based de-escalation and 'Now and Next' approaches Responding calmly and non-reactively to challenging behaviours, including physical behaviour directed at peers Working closely with the SENCO to review and adapt your approach as the pupil's needs evolve Supporting the pupil's gradual reintegration into mainstream classroom life over time Contributing to the wider provision team as part of a collaborative staffing model What we're looking for: A current Team Teach qualification - this is essential Proven experience working 1:1 with primary-aged pupils with complex SEN needs A calm, grounded approach when faced with physically or emotionally challenging behaviour Familiarity with autism, EHCP provision, and sensory regulation strategies Experience in a PRU, alternative provision, or SEMH-focused setting is a strong advantage 'Now and Next' knowledge is helpful but not required A genuine commitment to long-term, consistent support - this isn't a role for someone looking for variety What's on offer: Long-term placement, full-time, five days per week A warm start: you'll be welcomed by the SENCO on day one and introduced to the team and pupil A clear support and escalation structure through the school's SENCO A role where your consistency genuinely changes outcomes for a child Why Sprint? If you're looking to work as a teacher in a mainstream classroom, providing day-to-day supply cover, we're probably not the agency for you. But if you're passionate about supporting students with additional needs and want a long-term role where you can build consistency and see the impact of your work every day, that's exactly what we do. Next Steps If you're looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference, register your interest today.

Play a central role in supporting teachers and safeguarding students at a growing, high-quality music school. This is a practical, hands-on role combining pastoral judgement with detailed operational work. You ll handle sensitive situations with care and clarity, while maintaining the systems and processes that underpin consistent, high-quality practice. Greenwich Music School delivers lessons to hundreds of students each week across our venues, partner schools, and online. As we grow, we are looking for a Teacher Support & Pastoral Lead to take ownership of day-to-day safeguarding, behaviour, and teacher support work - alongside the policies, records, and processes that support it. You will be the first point of contact for many teacher and safeguarding-related issues, handling routine and moderately complex situations independently. You ll be expected to make decisions using judgement and policy, rather than relying on escalation in most day-to-day cases, while recognising when to involve the Principal. Alongside casework, a significant part of the role is maintaining and improving the systems behind it - including safeguarding records, compliance processes, onboarding, and documentation. This role sits at the centre of how we support both students and teachers. It requires calm judgement, strong communication, and the ability to balance sensitivity with clarity, structure, and consistency. What the role involves Acting as Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead, supporting the Principal (DSL) Managing safeguarding concerns day-to-day, including recording, follow-up, and appropriate escalation Acting as first point of contact for teacher concerns, including behaviour and pastoral issues Supporting teachers to handle challenging situations with students and families, including setting clear expectations and boundaries where needed Maintaining and improving safeguarding systems, including the Single Central Record, DBS and ID checks, and training records Taking ownership of key policies (safeguarding, behaviour, inclusion, online safety), ensuring they are practical, up to date, and consistently applied Managing teacher onboarding processes, including compliance checks and induction Co-ordinating training sessions and teacher events (logistics, communication, records) Maintaining the teacher handbook and communicating updates clearly Working alongside the SEND lead and Principal to support teachers working with students with additional needs Identifying and implementing improvements to processes, policies, and day-to-day practice What success looks like Safeguarding concerns are handled consistently, with clear records and appropriate follow-up Compliance systems (SCR, DBS, training) are accurate and reliably maintained Teachers feel supported and clear on expectations Policies are up to date and reflected in day-to-day practice Onboarding and training processes run smoothly Day-to-day matters are handled confidently, with escalation where appropriate About you You are comfortable handling sensitive situations and making sound judgements without needing detailed instruction. You can communicate clearly and calmly, including when conversations are difficult or require you to hold boundaries. You are organised and thorough, with strong attention to detail, and you follow things through to completion. You are equally comfortable maintaining detailed records and improving the systems behind them. You are motivated by clarity and consistency - and by helping others work effectively within a well-run structure. You will likely bring: Experience handling behaviour, safeguarding, or pastoral issues in a professional setting Confidence making independent, policy-informed decisions Strong written and verbal communication skills High attention to detail and strong organisational skills An understanding of safeguarding principles and professional boundaries The ability to work independently in a remote-first environment Experience in education, SEND support, or safeguarding compliance is helpful but not essential.
