Primary SEN Teaching Assistant

Location: Hounslow, West London
Salary: £95 - £100 per day PAYE
Job Type: Full time, Temp to Perm
Start Date: September 2026

About the role

Some pupils need more than classroom support.

They need someone who can understand their communication, recognise their individual needs and provide the consistency they need to feel safe and ready to learn.

A mainstream primary school in Hounslow is looking for a caring and reliable SEN Teaching Assistant to support pupils with complex needs within a specialist classroom.

The setting

The school is a mainstream primary with a dedicated complex needs classroom supporting pupils with a range of additional needs.

The children you will support have significant needs, including non-speaking pupils and those who require intimate care.

The classroom provides a structured and supportive environment where pupils are given the individual attention and consistency they need to access learning and develop their independence.

The role

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you will:

• Support pupils with complex SEND needs

• Provide one-to-one and small-group support

• Support non-speaking pupils with communication and engagement

• Assist with personal and intimate care where required

• Help pupils access classroom learning and activities

• Build trusting and positive relationships

• Follow individual support and care plans

• Support emotional regulation and wellbeing

• Work closely with the class teacher and wider inclusion team

• Help create a safe, calm and nurturing classroom

Who we are looking for

This role would suit someone who is patient, caring and comfortable supporting children with significant additional needs.

Previous experience with complex SEND is highly desirable, particularly experience supporting non-speaking pupils or children requiring intimate care.

You will be:

• Patient and compassionate

• Calm and consistent

• Comfortable providing personal care

• Confident working with children with complex needs

• A strong communicator

• Reliable and professional

• Able to follow individual care and learning plans

• Committed to inclusive education

Why this role matters

For children with complex needs, progress can look different.

It might be finding a new way to communicate.

It might be becoming more comfortable in the classroom.

It might be completing an activity with less support than before.

The right Teaching Assistant can help make those steps possible by providing the patience, consistency and encouragement a pupil needs every day.

What you can expect

• Full-time position

• September 2026 start

• £95 - £100 per day PAYE

• Mainstream primary school setting

• Dedicated complex needs classroom

• Experience supporting pupils in Years 2 and 3

• Opportunity to develop specialist SEND experience

• Ongoing support from Parker Smith Inclusion

• Potential to trial before committing to the placement
