SEN Teaching Assistant Full Time Placement NEW

SEN Teaching Assistant
Primary Academy
Full-time
Start Date: September 2026
Location: Edgware

A large and welcoming mainstream primary academy in Edgware is seeking a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to support pupils with Special Educational Needs from September 2026.

The Role
The school has multiple opportunities within its SEN provision, supporting pupils predominantly in EYFS and KS1. Pupils present with a range of needs including autism, non-verbal communication, ADHD, and complex learning difficulties. Some children will already have established support plans, while others will be newly admitted and undergoing assessment.

You will be based primarily within the SEN room, working closely with class teachers and the SENCo to provide tailored 1:1 support and deliver targeted interventions for individuals and small groups. The school is particularly interested in candidates with previous SEN experience, especially in speech and language support.

This is a full-time role starting in September 2026 and continuing through to July 2027.

The Academy
This large, all-through academy is well-established in Edgware, with excellent transport links and a strong reputation within the local community. Alongside the main secondary school, the academy features a smaller, self-contained primary setting.

The primary academy provides a purpose-built environment designed specifically for younger pupils, offering a calm and supportive space while still benefiting from the wider resources of the secondary phase. The school has a strong leadership team and fosters a close-knit, community atmosphere for both staff and pupils.

There are excellent opportunities for professional development across the academy, making this an ideal role for graduates or individuals looking to progress their career in education.
