Job description

We are urgently seeking an experienced SEN TA to work in an alternative provision provider in Norwich.  The role of an SEN TA is a varied one where no one day is the same, you will play an integral and important part in a vulnerable young person's education. 

As an SEN TA you must uphold the following;

  • You should be committed and flexible, able to work directly with the SENCO and with LSAs as required.
  • You will have worked as an SEN TA in an SEN setting and be capable of adaptability when regarding the curriculum.
  • You will have a good understanding of Special Educational Needs and Educational Inclusion, and the needs of the more able and talented.

We have been working with this alternate provision provider for some time, and whilst the environment can sometimes be challenging, it is also rewarding.  The setting is based in Norwich and they are looking for a TA who can commit to a full-time role until the end of the academic year. 

Step Teachers are an agency listed as an approved supplier on the Crown Commercial Service.  This is a new framework for schools to use, ensuring they have access to reputable agencies that meet certain safeguarding and recruitment guidelines.  The DfE are heavily marketing this service across schools and we would strongly suggest making sure you are registered with a CCS-approved agency moving forwards.  Registering with Step Teachers ensures you are working for a trusted partner of the DfE. 

Candidates will be subject to a variety of checks including an enhanced DBS check, full references including your most recent employer, and eligibility to work in the UK. Step Teachers are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment.

Unlike other agencies, Step Teachers are more than happy to process your pay via PAYE – you will not be forced to go with an Umbrella Company.

Get special perks for free while working PAYE with Step Teachers such as a qualified GP 24/7 with webcam consultations, examinations, and email prescriptions. In addition to a confidential helpline for stress-related issues.
