SEND Teaching Assistant

St John's & St Peter's CofE Primary is a welcoming school family in the heart of the Ladywood community. We are looking for a high-quality LSA to join our school family and live out our vision to see our children flourish, our culture transformed, and our community thrive. Our hope is that every child at St John's & St Peter's can uniquely contribute to the community and make it a place they ae proud to call home. St John's & St Peter's is a one-form entry primary school of 210 pupils and is part of the Fioretti Trust. It has good bus and rail connections and is located within a 10-minute walk of Birmingham City Centre. This fixed-term post sits at the heart of our SEND provision. You'll support pupils with EHCPs and complex needs across the school and within The Hub, our dedicated inclusion base, working closely with our SENDCo and Hub team. Day to day, you'll be: Delivering 1:1 and small-group support, both in class and in withdrawal settings Building strong, consistent relationships with pupils to support their social, emotional and academic development Contributing to EHCP reviews and individual learning programmes Supporting children with a range of needs including communication and interaction difficulties, SEMH, sensory or physical impairment, and cognitive or learning difficulties Observing and feeding back on pupil progress to the class teacher and SENDCo Adapting resources and approaches to meet individual needs Supporting safe, inclusive play and, where required, intimate care routines in line with school policy This is a role for someone with real, hands-on SEND experience. You'll need to know how to build trust with vulnerable children, work effectively as part of a team, and support independence rather than dependency. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you. A note on the fixed-term contract: This post is funded through SEND provision and is fixed-term by nature. However, posts of this type are regularly extended, and many of our SEND staff have been in post for several years. The fixed-term contract is a funding formality, not a reflection of job security.
