Teaching Assistant

Description

We are working with a fantastic SEN School in Harrow that is seeking committed Teaching Assistants to join their team.

You will be working with students in Early Years, KS1 or KS2, who have Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The school prides itself on creating a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child is supported to achieve their potential.

As a Teaching Assistant, you will be placed within a year group that suits your strengths and preferences, ensuring you are able to build the best relationships with the students you are supporting.

What we’re looking for:

* Individuals who are committed and can act as positive role models for young people

* People who are passionate about education and supporting children with additional needs

* A team player with good communication skills and a caring, patient nature

* Background in Sports, Creative Arts or other transferable settings

* Personal care experience is desirable

What the role offers you:

* A supportive, well-structured team environment

* Ongoing professional development and training opportunities

* A permanent contract following a successful probation period through the agency

Previous experience working with children with SEMH/ASD is beneficial but not essential — a great attitude, reliability, and commitment are the key qualities we are looking for.
