Experienced SEND Teaching Assistant – Specialist Education
Camden, North London | £95–£110 per day | Full-time
If you have worked in SEND for a while, you will know that being a strong Teaching Assistant involves far more than simply supporting a lesson.
You learn to read situations quickly. You recognise when behaviour is communication. You know when to prompt, when to challenge and when a pupil needs space.
Parker Smith Inclusion is looking to speak with experienced SEND Teaching Assistants seeking full-time opportunities in Camden.
We are particularly interested in candidates who already have experience supporting pupils with additional needs and want a role where that experience will be recognised and used.
What could your role involve?
Depending on the pupils and setting, responsibilities may include:
-
Supporting pupils individually and in small groups
-
Adapting your communication for different needs
-
Supporting emotional regulation
-
Encouraging independence
-
Helping pupils access differentiated learning
-
Supporting communication and interaction
-
Using established behaviour and SEND strategies
-
Working closely with teachers and specialist professionals
-
Using your initiative rather than waiting for constant direction

Why consider your next role through Parker Smith Inclusion?
If you are already experienced, you should not have to repeatedly prove that you understand the basics of SEND support.
We take the time to understand what you have done, what environments suit you and where you want your career to go next.
That could mean finding a role with greater responsibility, exposure to a different area of SEND or simply a setting where your experience is genuinely valued.
£95–£110 per day, depending on experience.
