✨ SEN Teaching Assistant – Catholic Primary School, Worthing

Full Time | 8:30am – 3:30pm | Start ASAP
Easily accessible via public transport

Are you someone who believes every child deserves patience, encouragement and the chance to shine?
Do you want to work in a school where kindness, community and faith‑inspired values shape everything they do?

A beautiful Catholic primary school in Worthing is looking for a warm, dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join their friendly team. This is a general classroom TA role with a strong focus on supporting pupils with additional needs — perfect for someone with excellent SEN experience who loves being hands‑on in the classroom.

Whether you’ve supported ASD, speech & language needs, anxiety, sensory needs or learning delays, the school would love someone who can bring empathy, consistency and a gentle approach to their children.

🌼 Why This School Stands Out

• A caring, faith‑based community where every child is known by name
• A staff team who look out for one another
• Leadership that prioritises wellbeing, support and compassion
• A calm, nurturing learning environment that feels like a family
• Great transport links — very easy to reach by train or bus

This is the perfect role if you thrive in a supportive environment and want to be part of a school that truly values its staff.

💛 The Role

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you’ll work in a general classroom role across EYFS or KS1/KS2 while giving additional support to pupils with SEN needs.

Your day might include:

• Supporting children 1:1 or in small groups
• Helping pupils with communication, routines and confidence
• Adapting classroom tasks to make learning accessible
• Providing emotional support and reassurance where needed
• Working closely with the class teacher and SENCO
• Celebrating every bit of progress — big or small

⭐ What We’re Looking For

• Strong SEN experience (essential)
• Warm, patient and child‑centred
• Confident supporting early literacy, numeracy and communication needs
• Able to work as part of a compassionate, faith‑driven community
• A positive role model who brings calm and consistency to the classroom
• Reliable, friendly and ready to make a meaningful difference

You do not need to be Catholic — the school welcomes staff of all backgrounds who share their values of kindness, respect and care.
