Are you passionate about supporting young people with additional needs? Do you have the patience, resilience and personality to help a young person overcome barriers to learning?

Parker Smith Inclusion is working with a specialist SEMH school in Harrow seeking a dedicated 1:1 Teaching Assistant to provide individual support to a young person with ADHD.

The school works with young people who may have struggled within mainstream education and can present with SEMH needs, challenging behaviour and additional learning difficulties.

About the Role

As a 1:1 Teaching Assistant, you’ll provide consistent, individualised support throughout the school day.

• Background in education, youth work, mentoring, care or a similar setting

• Someone who can build positive and meaningful relationships

• A calm, patient and consistent approach

Why Consider This Role?

This is a great opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience within specialist SEND education.

The role would suit someone considering a future career in education, psychology, social care, therapy or youth work, while providing the opportunity to develop practical skills working with young people with complex needs.

You’ll also have access to training, professional development and the potential to progress into a permanent position.
