SEN Teaching Assistant, Worcester

Are you a teaching assistant looking for a role which offers you progression and a chance to support neurodivergent individuals both in and out of the classroom? You will be working for a national charity that delivers supported internships for young people with autism or a learning disability. The programme provides classroom‑based learning (so employability and functional skills) combined with a work‑experience placement – and supports the young person throughout the process.

You will have a varied role. Typically, you will spend one day a week on an admin day, one day classroom‑based working as a teaching assistant, and then three days visiting young people in the workplace and working with them to help them understand the role, as well as liaising with the employer for feedback and discussing any workplace adjustments. You will also support young people in the practicalities of getting to and from work. Learners and employers are typically in the Worcester area. Driving is essential for this role.

You must have experience of working with young people, ideally with SEND and autism / learning disability experience. This role would suit a teaching assistant looking for a change, or a youth worker, or maybe an employment advisor or job coach.
