Looking for a full‑time, long‑term role where you can build strong relationships and truly make a difference?

Teaching Personnel are recruiting for a dedicated ARB Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming primary school in the Truro area from September. This is a fantastic opportunity to work within a specialist provision, supporting pupils in a structured, well‑supported environment — with the potential for a permanent position.

This is not typical day‑to‑day supply…

• You’ll work consistently in one setting
• Be part of a close‑knit SEN team
• Build meaningful, long‑term relationships with pupils
• Receive strong support from experienced staff
• Opportunity to transition into a permanent role

If you’re looking for stability, purpose, and progression — this is a brilliant next step.

You will be working within an Additionally Resourced Base (ARB) supporting pupils with a range of needs such as:

• Autism (ASC)

• Supporting routines, transitions and emotional regulation
• Adapting activities to support access to learning
• Encouraging independence and confidence
• Working closely with teachers, SENCOs and support staff
• Creating a calm, safe and structured environment

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Has experience working in SEN, care, or support settings
• Is calm, patient and emotionally resilient
• Is confident supporting behaviour and routine
• Enjoys working closely with individual pupils
• Wants a long‑term, meaningful role

The right attitude is just as important as experience.

• Full‑time, long‑term role with temp‑to‑perm opportunity
• Competitive weekly pay (PAYE only)
• A dedicated local consultant (me!) supporting you throughout
• Free CPD: SEN, behaviour, safeguarding & more
• Clear communication and ongoing support
• Opportunity to secure a permanent position in school
