SEN Teaching Assistant – Complex Needs School

Enfield | September 2026 | Full-Time | Term-Time Only

Could you be the person who helps a child realise they can do more than they thought possible?

We’re working with a friendly specialist school in Enfield that is looking for enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistants to join their team from September 2026.

The school supports children across Early Years, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 with a range of complex needs, including Autism, Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), PMLD and communication needs.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about supporting children with additional needs and wants to be part of a school where every small step forward is celebrated.

About the Role

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you’ll work closely with teachers and specialist support staff to help pupils access learning, develop their independence and feel confident within school.

You’ll support pupils with:

• Phonics, Maths and communication activities

• Classroom learning and small group activities

• Social and emotional development

• Building confidence and independence

• Communication and interaction

• Personal care where required

You’ll also work closely with teachers, therapists and the wider school team to ensure pupils receive consistent and individualised support.

Every day will be different, and your role will be about helping pupils make progress in both their learning and personal development.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Patient, caring and energetic

• Passionate about supporting children with additional needs

• Positive, proactive and willing to get stuck in

• A strong team player who can work closely with teachers and support staff

• Committed to helping pupils develop their confidence and independence

Previous SEN experience is desirable but not essential.

The school would also welcome candidates with backgrounds in education, care, support work, youth work or childcare who are looking to develop their career within SEND.

Most importantly, you’ll have the patience and resilience to celebrate the small wins and understand that progress looks different for every child.

About the School

This is a specialist complex needs school in Enfield, supporting pupils across Early Years, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.

The school provides a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment, with small class sizes, excellent staffing ratios and specialist facilities designed around the needs of its pupils.

You’ll be joining a supportive and collaborative staff team, with ongoing training and opportunities to develop your skills within SEND.
