Job Position(s): SEN Teaching Assistant – Ideal for Actor

 

Location: Leeds & Bradford Contract: Flexible / Part-Time / Full-Time

Balancing auditions, rehearsals, and income isn’t easy but working in education can offer a flexible, rewarding option alongside your acting or performing career.

We’re looking for creative, adaptable individuals to work as SEN Teaching Assistants in specialist schools across Leeds and Bradford. This role is ideal for actors and performers who bring confidence, empathy, and strong communication skills into every space they enter.

You’ll work with students with additional needs, supporting their learning and helping them build confidence and connection, often through play, storytelling, drama, or creative expression.

What we offer:

• Flexible work that can fit around your creative schedule

• Supportive, welcoming school environments

• Opportunities to work ad-hoc, part-time or full-time

• A meaningful role where no two days are the same

We’re looking for people who are:

• Confident and calm in a room

• Personable, intuitive, and emotionally intelligent

• Reliable, even when availability fluctuates week to week

• Open to supporting students with autism, social/emotional needs, or complex learning profiles

No teaching experience is needed, just the right energy, patience, and willingness to learn.
