Make a Real Difference Every Day

Leader Education are excited to be recruiting a caring, enthusiastic, and dedicated SEND Teaching Assistant to join a truly exceptional primary SEND school in Gateshead.

Immediate and September start dates available.

This is much more than a classroom support role. It’s an opportunity to help children with additional needs grow in confidence, develop independence, and achieve their individual goals in a nurturing and inspiring environment where every success is celebrated.

Recognised by Ofsted as a “friendly and inspirational” school, this setting is known for its high aspirations, inclusive ethos, and unwavering commitment to helping every child reach their full potential.

You’ll become part of a supportive and welcoming team that works together to create meaningful learning experiences and celebrate every milestone, no matter how big or small.

A Unique Learning Environment

Education

The school offers a highly personalised approach to education, tailoring learning to each child’s strengths, interests, and individual needs. Pupils benefit from outstanding specialist facilities, including:

• An onsite hydrotherapy pool
• A fully equipped sports hall
• An exciting indoor climbing wall
• Specialist sensory and therapeutic learning spaces
• A creative, engaging, and nurturing environment where every child can thrive

Whether you already have experience supporting children with SEND or you’re looking to bring transferable skills from another child-focused role, this could be the perfect opportunity to start or develop your career in education.

Your Role

As a SEND Teaching Assistant, you will work alongside teachers and specialist professionals to provide high-quality support for pupils with a range of additional needs.

• Building positive, trusting relationships with pupils
• Supporting learning, communication, and emotional development
• Encouraging independence and celebrating achievements
• Helping to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging classroom environment
• Supporting personal care and mobility needs where required (full training provided)
• Contributing to a positive school culture where every child feels valued, respected, and supported

Knowledge of sensory approaches, communication strategies, or SEND interventions would be advantageous, but full training and ongoing support will be provided.

What Leader Education Offers

• Competitive rates of pay
• £100 Refer-a-Friend Bonus Scheme (terms apply)
• Dedicated support from an experienced education consultant
• Access to exciting long-term opportunities
• Potential for a permanent contract following a qualifying period
