Inclusion here is not a policy. It is the everyday practice of the school. Every child is known, supported and given the structure they need to succeed.
A highly inclusive mainstream primary school in Havering is looking for an experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistant to join their specialist Autism Resource Provision. This is a fully integrated provision that sits at the heart of the school and plays a key role in shaping its inclusive culture.
This is a strong temp to perm opportunity for someone who is looking for long term stability and progression. You will begin in a temporary role from September with a clear pathway into a permanent position for the right person. This allows you to settle into the environment, build relationships and demonstrate your impact before moving into a long term role.

Leading one to one and small group interventions focused on communication engagement and independence

Why this opportunity is different
The temp to perm structure gives you the chance to experience the school properly before committing. It is an opportunity to demonstrate your skills in practice and move into a permanent role based on fit and impact rather than CV alone. For the right person this is a clear pathway into a long term position within a highly supportive environment.
