About the Role

SparkEd Recruitment is working in partnership with a welcoming and forward-thinking school in Redruth to recruit committed Classroom Assistants. This is an opportunity to support students across Key Stages 1 to 4 and play a meaningful role in their development.

As a SEND Classroom Assistant, you will provide vital support to pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including those with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

• Passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of children and young people
• Adaptable, proactive, and able to respond to a variety of needs
• Eager to learn and develop, with full training provided
• From backgrounds such as childcare, psychology, youth work, or social care (graduates are encouraged to apply)
• Patient, resilient, and committed to supporting students with complex needs, including Autism and ADHD

Previous experience working with young people with additional needs or challenging behaviour is beneficial but not essential.

What We Offer

• Competitive pay, reflective of your experience and commitment
• Access to wellbeing support to help maintain a healthy work-life balance
• Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant, available whenever you need it
• Opportunities for continued professional development and training
• A supportive and inclusive school environment where your contribution truly matters
