Salary: £90–£110 per day

Are you a compassionate and proactive individual with a genuine passion for supporting children with special educational needs? We’re looking for dedicated SEN Teaching Assistants to join a vibrant, inclusive special school in East London.
A background in care is a real bonus (but not essential) – what matters most is your commitment to helping young people thrive, develop independence, and enjoy happy, fulfilling lives.
Why Join?

Inclusive & Nurturing: Be part of a supportive team that values every child’s potential.
Training & Growth: Access ongoing CPD and development opportunities, whether you’re new to the role or building on existing experience.
Modern Facilities: Work in purpose-built spaces with sensory rooms and specialist resources.
Positive Culture: Join a school where staff well-being, teamwork, and balance are priorities.

The Role
You’ll play a key role in supporting pupils aged 4–18 with a range of complex needs, including autism, PMLD and SLD. This includes:

Providing 1:1 and small-group support tailored to individual learning needs.
Assisting with classroom activities, behaviour support, and personal care when needed.
Encouraging communication, social interaction, and life skills.
Helping prepare engaging resources to support personalised learning.
Collaborating with teachers, therapists, and other staff to ensure consistency of support.

What We’re Looking For

GCSEs in English & Maths (grade 4–9 or equivalent).
Experience supporting children or young people with SEND (school or care background).
A patient, caring, and resilient approach.
Flexibility and initiative to adapt to pupils’ needs.
Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships with pupils and staff.

Safeguarding
An enhanced DBS check and full pre-employment screening are required. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and all applicants must share this commitment.
How to Apply
If you’re ready to take the next step and make a real difference, send your CV to [email protected] or call 0203 0079198

We are committed to safeguarding children. Each applicant will be expected to undertake compliance checks including Prohibited list, Barred list, DBS and Qualifications.
