If you work in a nursery or Reception class and have wondered about SEND, your early years experience is what this school is looking for.
This Early Years SEN Teaching Assistant role is in the primary phase of a specialist school in South West London. You will support young children with autism (ASC), SLD and PMLD in the early years classes.
It is a long-term, full-time role, paid £95-£100 per day through PAYE every week. The day runs from 8:40am to 4pm, and the school would like you to start as soon as you can.
Some of the children communicate in ways other than speech. Part of the job is learning how each child shows what they want, what they enjoy and when something is wrong.
Personal care is part of the role. So is supporting children in water-based therapy sessions. Both are a must, so please apply only if you are happy to do them.
The school is an easy commute from Sutton, Merton, and New Malden.
What you will do
- Support young children through play, sensory activities and early learning
- Help with personal care, always with dignity and respect
- Support children in the water during therapy sessions
- Help each child communicate in the way that works for them

The role is long term, so you get to know the same children over many months. You see the small steps add up, such as a child joining in for longer or finding a way to tell you what they want.
