SEN Teaching Assistant – Year 3 (Start: 1st December) 📍BS6 🕒 Full-Time | Temporary (Rest of Term + Term 3, subject to ongoing need) We’re looking for someone steady, reliable, and genuinely skilled to support a Year 3 pupil who can display very challenging behaviour. This role isn’t for someone who’s “interested in giving it a go”—we need someone who already knows what strong behaviour support looks like and can deliver it consistently. You’ll be working 1:1 with a bright, capable girl who excels in maths but needs clear boundaries, routine, and a calm adult presence to help her navigate the school day. Part of your timetable will be dedicated to her specifically; the rest will involve broader SEN support across the class or year group to give everyone some balance. What you’ll be doing: - Providing steady, structured support to a Year 3 pupil with significant behavioural needs - Setting firm, fair boundaries and sticking to them - Building trust and a working relationship that helps her feel safe and understood - Supporting learning across subjects (especially maths, where she’s working above age expectations) - Working closely with the class teacher and wider support team to keep the environment calm and purposeful - Switching between 1:1 and general SEN support to break up the day while keeping consistency for the pupil Who we’re looking for: - Someone with hands-on experience supporting pupils with challenging behaviour - Confident in de-escalation and behaviour management—not easily thrown off by tricky moments - Patient, calm, and able to reset and maintain consistency throughout the day - Able to balance warmth with firm boundaries - Reliable and committed—you’ll be with this pupil through to the end of January at minimum This role starts next week (1st December) and is full-time. It’s a chance to make a tangible difference each day and to be part of a supportive, grounded team. If you’re ready to step in and offer the stability this child needs, we’d love to hear from you.…SEN Teaching Assistant – Year 3 (Start: 1st December) 📍BS6 🕒 Full-Time | Temporary (Rest of Term + Term 3, subject to ongoing need) We’re looking for someone steady, reliable, and genuinely skilled to support a Year 3 pupil who can display very challenging behaviour.

FAQ

How is Zen different from a recruitment agency?

Zen Educate is a technology platform to connect teachers with schools directly. Agencies are an expensive middleman between schools and teachers. They have to charge high commissions because their booking procedures are largely manual and run on outdated systems. Because we run more of the process online or on your phone, we create an experience that delights schools and teachers at a fraction of the cost.

What roles do you cover?

We help Teachers, Teaching Assistants, and Cover Supervisors find work. We work with all types of schools and help with short-term, long-term and permanent roles. Many of our long-term roles convert to permanent roles. We make it far easier than a traditional agency for teachers to convert temporary positions into permanent ones.

What areas do you cover?

We work with over 400 schools in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds.

I don't have my documents right now. Can I still sign up?

Yes! You can sign up now and let us know what work you're looking for. You can return at any time to finish your profile and start getting bookings.

I don't have recent references, can I still sign up?

You can definitely still sign up! Once you've uploaded your CV, we'll be able to look at your experience, and help you figure out who would be best placed to act as your referees.

Who can help me with my journey?
