Special Needs Assistants work specifically with children with special educational needs (SEN) be it learning, physical or behavioural difficulties. Generally this is on a one-to-one basis with a child, supporting them in the classroom as well as working with them individually. As well as opportunities to work 1:1, TimePlan works with Special Education Schools covering their teaching assistant needs.
