Bromstone Primary has an exciting opportunity for a dedicated, enthusiastic and caring SEND Teaching Assistant to join our team within our Specialist Resourced Provision (SRP) — an integral part of our vibrant and inclusive primary school.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about supporting pupils with significant and complex needs, which may present in a variety of ways. The ideal candidate will have experience in an Early Years or nursery setting and a strong understanding of the importance of sensory play, communication through play, and hands-on learning experiences.

This role requires a proactive and flexible approach — someone who is confident in suggesting, planning and setting up engaging, sensory-based activities that support children’s social, emotional and behavioural development. You will need to be patient, resilient and creative, able to adapt to the individual needs of each child and remain calm in challenging situations.

At Bromstone, we can offer you:

• A warm and welcoming school community with happy, enthusiastic and well-behaved children.
• A supportive and collaborative staff team who share a passion for our school ethos: Dream, Believe, Achieve.
• Opportunities for professional growth within an inclusive and nurturing environment.

The successful candidate will be:

• Flexible, adaptable and hardworking.
• Emotionally intelligent and empathetic.
• Passionate about making a genuine difference in the lives of children with additional needs.

Hours: 31.25 per week, 8:30am – 3:15pm (Monday–Friday), term-time only.

Contract: Fixed term to 31^st August 2026 initially, with the hope to extend.
