About the Role

Your Teaching is proud to be working in partnership with a vibrant and Ofsted Outstanding primary school in Hackney to find a kind, reliable, and enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistant to join their dedicated team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about supporting children with additional needs such as Autism (ASC), ADHD, speech and language delays, and social-emotional challenges. The school is committed to inclusion and child-centred learning, and is looking for someone who shares their values of compassion, patience, and positivity.

You’ll be working closely with teachers and SEN staff to ensure every child feels supported, safe, and encouraged to succeed—both in their learning and personal development.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

* A caring and patient nature, with a genuine passion for helping children

* Comfortable supporting students who may present with challenging behaviour or additional needs

* Open-minded, flexible, and keen to learn and develop within a school setting

* Previous experience working with SEN is helpful, but not essential—training and guidance will be provided

* Someone who is available to start as soon as possible and committed to making a lasting difference

Why This School?

* A warm, inclusive, and community-focused school where every child is known and supported

* Outstanding leadership and a strong focus on staff well-being

* A collaborative and welcoming team of educators who value each member of staff
