1:1 SEND Teaching Assistant – Hammersmith & Fulham
Start Date: ASAP / November 2025
Contract: Full-time (term-time only)
Salary: £90 – £100 per day (depending on experience)
Are you passionate about making a genuine difference in the lives of children with additional needs?
Do you believe in inclusive, nurturing education that allows every child to thrive?
At Parker Smith Inclusion, we partner with schools that share our values of empathy, integrity and commitment to supporting every learner. We are currently seeking a dedicated 1:1 SEND Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming mainstream primary school in the Hammersmith & Fulham area.
The Role
You will be providing one-to-one support to a child with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and communication needs. Working closely with the class teacher and SENCo, you’ll help create a safe, structured and engaging learning environment that supports the pupil’s academic, emotional and social development.
Typical responsibilities include:
-
Supporting the child in classroom activities and transitions
-
Implementing strategies from the child’s Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
-
Encouraging independence and confidence through positive reinforcement
-
Working collaboratively with teachers, therapists and parents
-
Promoting inclusion and celebrating small daily successes
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for someone who is:
-
Patient, compassionate and adaptable
-
Experienced (or keen to gain experience) supporting children with ASC, speech and language difficulties or other learning needs
-
A strong communicator who can build trust with both pupils and staff
-
Committed to inclusive education and child-centred support
Experience in Team Teach, PECS, or Makaton is desirable but not essential – the right attitude and willingness to learn are most important.
Why Work With Parker Smith Inclusion?

You’ll have a dedicated consultant who truly understands SEND, and we’ll support you every step of the way in finding a role that matches your skills, values and career goals.
If you believe every child deserves to flourish — no matter their starting point — we’d love to hear from you.
