Job description
1:1 SEND Teaching Assistant - Y4 SEN TA
Location:
Hours: Part-time (09:00 – 12:00, Monday to Friday)
Pay: £51
The Role
We are looking for a patient, high-energy, and resilient individual to support a Year 4 girl who is currently transitioning back into a school routine. This is a unique role that prioritizes relationship-building and movement over traditional classroom desk work.
The pupil is currently working outside of the main classroom in a dedicated quiet area/OT room. Your goal will be to provide the 1:1 attention she thrives on, using her love for sports and movement to re-engage her with learning.
Key Responsibilities
Movement-Based Learning: Facilitate frequent movement breaks and utilize the OT room/sports equipment to keep her engaged.
Nurture-First Approach: Provide a "safe" 1:1 environment, helping her bridge the gap from the Forest Club back into a structured school setting.
Differentiated Support: Deliver tailored work in reading and writing, acknowledging that she has been out of the classroom for some time.
Behavioral Management: Using a calm, "likable" approach to navigate stubbornness or potential aggression with peers, ensuring she remains in a separate, positive space for learning and play.
Transition Planning: Work toward the long-term goal of integrating her into small group work.
The Ideal Candidate
The "Sporty" Mentor: Since the pupil is very active and relates well to high-energy activities, a background in sports coaching or active play is a huge plus.
Resilient & Patient: You can handle stubborn moments with a sense of humor and a calm de-escalation style.
SEND Experience: Prior experience with SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) or supporting children who have been out of mainstream education is highly desirable.
Firm but Fair: Ability to set clear boundaries while providing the 1:1 attention she craves.

Roles
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.
How much work is there?
Generally speaking, we have consistently high demand for daily supply teachers in Greater London, Manchester Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds. Teaching assistant work is generally higher for long-term roles rather than daily supply cover.
Do you have primary, secondary or nursery jobs?
Yes. We can help with daily supply and long-term jobs in nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools. We don't typically have jobs in further education or college.
Do you have work for cover supervisors, invigilators, or school administrators?
While the majority of our work is for teachers and teaching assistants, we do also have work for cover supervisors and invigilators. Explain what you are looking for when you sign up and our team will help you.
What subjects do you cover?
We cover all subjects taught in primary and secondary schools - if you're not sure if we can help you with what you're looking for, please register and arrange to speak to a member of our Teacher Success team.
Do you do school admin jobs?
If you're looking for teaching or teaching assistant roles, and would also be interested in admin roles, it's worth letting us know. If you're only looking for admin roles, we might not be the place for you, as this isn't what we specialise in.
General
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.
