At St Thomas of Canterbury Church of England Primary School, we are proud of our nurturing ethos, inclusive culture and commitment to helping every child flourish. We are seeking a highly organised, caring and proactive SENCo Support Assistant to work alongside our SENCo in supporting children with SEND and additional needs across the school.

This varied role combines administrative support, liaison with families and external agencies, monitoring pupil progress, and direct work with children. The successful candidate will be an excellent communicator with strong organisational skills, a good understanding of SEND, and the ability to build positive relationships with pupils, parents and staff.

We are looking for someone who is compassionate, enthusiastic and committed to inclusion, with experience of clerical work and, ideally, experience of supporting children with SEND. Strong IT skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team are essential.

In return, we offer the opportunity to join a thriving and successful primary school, work alongside dedicated professionals, and make a real difference to the lives of children and families.

We warmly welcome applications from individuals who share our commitment to ensuring every child achieves their full potential.

All appointments are subject to safer recruitment requirements to ensure the safeguarding of children and young people. All positions will involve appropriate checks and clearances.
