Full job description

Post-16 SEN Teaching Assistant – Post-16 Pathways
Support young people as they take their next step into adulthood.

Summary
Are you passionate about preparing young people with special educational needs for life beyond the classroom? Sense Education is hiring for a specialist post-16 provision, seeking a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to support learners aged 16–19 with Autism, learning differences, and communication needs. The focus here is practical, person-centred, and aspirational—supporting each student to gain independence, build confidence, and prepare for adult life. Full-time and part-time applicants are welcome. This is a long-term position with the potential to become permanent.

The Role
This is not your typical classroom assistant role. You’ll be supporting students both in and beyond the classroom, helping them gain skills they’ll use every day—from travel training and shopping lists to work experience and social interaction.

Your day-to-day may include:

Providing 1:1 or small group support for social, emotional, and learning needs
Helping students develop life and vocational skills such as budgeting, cooking, or using public transport
Supporting work placements and community-based learning
Managing and de-escalating behaviour with calm, consistent approaches
Working collaboratively with teachers, therapists, and external agencies to help students meet their goals
Supporting transition planning for adulthood, including further education and supported living

Whether you’re preparing a student for a job interview, accompanying them on a bus journey, or guiding them through their daily schedule, your support will be instrumental in shaping their future.

Who This Role is For
We’re looking for someone practical, patient, and deeply committed to helping young people thrive. You may come from education, care, health, or social work—or simply have personal experience and a passion for SEND.

You’ll need:

Minimum qualifications required: A recognised Teaching Assistant qualification or a background in education or care (NVQ, CACHE, Degree, or equivalent)
Experience supporting individuals with Autism, learning disabilities, or additional needs
An understanding of positive behaviour support and de-escalation techniques
A proactive, flexible attitude and a genuine commitment to inclusion
Great communication skills and the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team
Confidence supporting independence in real-world settings, not just the classroom

A Teaching Assistant qualification is beneficial but not essential for the right person with relevant experience.

The School
This specialist post-16 provision is part of a well-regarded SEND school with a strong focus on holistic development. Students access a highly personalised curriculum designed around life skills, employability, and wellbeing. Staff here work closely together to foster trust, independence, and long-term success for every learner.

Working Hours and Details

Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 3.30pm
Term time only
Location - Kendal
Role Type: Full Time / Part time/ Temp- perm
Pay Rate: £14.60 - £16.90 per hour

The Benefits

Competitive pay

A step into or forward in education, social care, or psychology
Opportunity to progress into a permanent role

If you're ready to be part of a team that helps young people grow in confidence and independence, apply now and make a lasting impact.

Safeguarding children is an integral part of what we do, and we have a stringent safer recruitment process. We undertake checks on all the candidates we work with. As such, we require a current Enhanced DBS Disclosure for everyone working in Schools.

If you take a temporary role with Sense Education, you will be paid on a weekly basis. All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay. This advert is for a temporary position but long term. In some cases, the option to make this role permanent may become available.
