Early Years SEN Teaching Assistant

The Opportunity
Are you passionate about early childhood development and ready to make a meaningful impact? Sense Education is hiring for a specialist Early Years setting in Leeds, seeking two nurturing, patient and proactive SEN Teaching Assistants to join their team. This is a chance to support young children with Autism, communication differences, and developmental delays as they begin their school journey—helping to build the foundations for lifelong learning.

What You’ll Be Doing
As an Early Years SEN Teaching Assistant, you’ll work in a structured, play-based environment supporting pupils aged 2 to 5. You’ll be a key part of a dedicated team helping children communicate, connect and grow through sensory exploration, music, visuals and movement.

Your role will include:

Providing 1:1 and small group support to children with additional needs
Encouraging early milestones in speech, motor skills, social interaction and independence
Supporting learning through sensory play, routines, visual aids and child-led activities
Promoting emotional regulation and safe, supported transitions
Using or learning tools such as PECS, Makaton, visual timetables and communication boards
Working closely with teachers, therapists and SENCOs to implement individual learning plans

Every day brings new challenges—but also deeply rewarding moments of progress, no matter how small.

Who You Are
This role is ideal for those who are calm, intuitive, and passionate about inclusive early education. We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds, including:

Minimum qualifications required: A recognised Teaching Assistant qualification or a background in education or care (NVQ, CACHE, Degree, or equivalent)
Qualified Early Years practitioners or experienced Teaching Assistants
Health, care or childcare professionals transitioning into schools
Psychology, Education or Child Development graduates
Individuals with lived or voluntary experience supporting children with SEND

You’ll need to be:

Patient, compassionate and confident in supporting non-verbal or sensory-seeking children
Comfortable with a hands-on, play-based approach
Willing to learn and work as part of a collaborative team

The School
This nurturing Early Years setting is purpose-built to support children with SEND through a holistic, child-centred approach. The environment includes sensory zones, outdoor play areas, and quiet spaces designed to meet the diverse needs of its pupils. The staff team is skilled, warm and collaborative, making it a fantastic place to grow and learn alongside the children.

Working Hours and Details

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