Aperçu — adapté à Reeson Education
Dear Hiring Manager,
Reeson Education's SEN Teaching Assistant vacancy at the Mitcham primary school stands out precisely because of its focus on 1:1 ASD and ADHD support within a genuinely inclusive, mainstream setting — two areas where I have developed real hands-on expertise. The opportunity to collaborate directly with the SENCO and external professionals to deliver tailored intervention is exactly the kind of structured, child-centred work I am seeking.
My background in SEN support includes delivering small group and 1:1 sessions for pupils with a range of additional needs, adapting learning materials under the direction of the class teacher and contributing to positive behaviour plans. I have worked within safeguarding frameworks throughout and actively pursued CPD in speech and language strategies to broaden my practice.
