• Welcoming Team: You’ll join colleagues who are passionate about creating a safe, engaging, and inspiring learning environment.

Why This Role is Perfect for Experienced TAs:

• A fantastic opportunity to specialise in SEN while gaining valuable classroom experience.

• Convenient term-time hours for a great work–life balance.

• Located within easy reach of London and Hertfordshire.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience supporting children with ASD (in a school or care setting).

• A patient, empathetic, and positive approach.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team.
