• Full-time Role
• Immediate Start
• Ongoing Contract
• Enfield Primary Academy

A high-achieving and inclusive primary academy in Enfield is seeking an exceptionally experienced SEN Teaching Assistant to provide 1:1 support to a Year 3 child with significant behavioural needs. This is a full-time, long-term position for someone ready to take on a challenging yet highly rewarding role.

The Role

You will work closely with one pupil in year 3 who presents extremely challenging behaviour, including swearing, hitting, and biting. The child requires a resilient, calm, and highly skilled professional who can remain composed in high-stress situations and implement effective de-escalation techniques.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the pupil throughout the school day in class and during transitions
• Managing incidents involving verbal and physical aggression in a safe and professional manner
• Working in close partnership with the class teacher, SENCO, and external professionals
• Implementing consistent behaviour strategies and personalised learning support
• Encouraging emotional regulation, social skills, and academic engagement

This role requires someone with a proven background in supporting pupils with high-level behavioural needs, ideally in a primary school or specialist setting.

The School

This primary academy is part of a respected all-through academy within the borough of Enfield. The school benefits from strong leadership, a supportive staff team, and well-established systems for supporting pupils with SEN. Although behaviour across the school is generally very good, this role is specifically to support a child with exceptional needs. The school works closely with the attached secondary school and there is a supportive and established leadership team in place. As a large school within an academy, there is good access to professional development opportunities and training.

Requirements

• Minimum 2 years’ experience supporting pupils with challenging behaviour
• Experience with children who exhibit physical aggression or emotional dysregulation
• Confidence in managing high-intensity situations using positive behaviour support strategies
• Immediate availability and commitment to a full-time

If you are a dedicated SEN professional with the strength, patience, and experience to make a difference in a child’s life, we want to hear from you.
