Graduate Teaching Assistant

Summary
Are you a university student or recent graduate curious about a future in education, SEND, or therapeutic work? Sense Education is hiring a graduate teaching assistant for a specialist setting in Whitehaven. This Graduate Teaching Assistant role offers a rewarding opportunity to gain meaningful experience in a nurturing specialist setting—perfect for anyone looking to develop their skills while supporting young people with additional needs.

The Role
As a Graduate Teaching Assistant, you’ll be part of a dedicated team in a special school in Leeds, supporting pupils with autism, communication differences, and sensory processing needs. Working closely with teachers, therapists and support staff, you'll help pupils engage with learning, manage transitions, and access calming strategies like the sensory room.

Your day-to-day may include:

Supporting pupils 1:1 and in small groups
Using visual supports and sensory strategies
Encouraging communication, engagement, and emotional regulation
Helping deliver structured, inclusive classroom activities
Supporting during swimming sessions or therapeutic outings

Minimum qualifications required: A recognised Teaching Assistant qualification or a background in education or care (NVQ, CACHE, Degree, or equivalent)
Current students or graduates in psychology, education, childhood studies, social care, health, or the arts
People with experience in support work, care, or volunteering with children or young people
Anyone empathetic, patient, and curious about SEND, who wants to build experience in a school setting

The School
The school is a supportive, inclusive environment where children with autism and sensory needs are encouraged to thrive. Staff work collaboratively to create structured routines, creative learning opportunities, and a calm, respectful atmosphere. Pupils have access to sensory spaces and frequent hands-on experiences—from local trips to therapeutic activities.
