Summary
Sense Education is looking for a compassionate and proactive Autism Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming specialist school in Kendal this September. This is a long-term, full-time or part-time role supporting children and young people with autism and associated needs in a nurturing, structured environment. If you’re calm, creative, and passionate about inclusive education, this could be your next step.

The Role

Regulate their emotions using structured routines and sensory strategies
Access learning through creative, play-based, and hands-on activities
Grow in independence through life skills and personalised goals

You’ll be part of a highly supportive team who value positivity, patience, and curiosity. No two days will be the same—and that’s part of the reward.

Open to using or learning communication tools like PECS or Makaton (training provided)

The School
This specialist provision is known for its inclusive ethos and whole-child approach. Pupils are supported through individualised programmes that focus on communication, wellbeing, and confidence-building. Staff are collaborative and well-trained, with a shared commitment to helping children feel safe, heard, and celebrated for who they are.
