Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)?
We are currently recruiting dedicated and enthusiastic SEND Teaching Assistants to join a range of welcoming schools across South West London. These are full-time, long-term opportunities where you will become an integral member of one school’s support team, working consistently with the same pupils and staff to help children reach their full potential.
Whether you’re an experienced SEND Teaching Assistant or looking to build your career within special educational needs, we’d love to hear from you.
The Role
As a SEND Teaching Assistant, you will work full-time within one school, providing consistent support to pupils with a range of additional needs. Depending on the setting, you may support pupils on a 1:1 basis, work with small intervention groups, or assist within a specialist provision or mainstream classroom.
You will play an important role in helping pupils access learning, develop their communication and social skills, build confidence and achieve their individual targets. Every day is different, and you’ll work closely with teachers, SENDCOs and therapists to provide the best possible support for each child.
The pupils you support may have a range of needs, including:
