SEND Teaching Assistant 

North East London | September Start

What if the encouragement you give today is the reason a young person believes in themselves tomorrow?

Some children need more than extra support—they need someone who sees their potential, celebrates every achievement, and helps them realise what they're capable of.

We're working with an exceptional all-through SEND school in North East London that is looking for a dedicated SEND Teaching Assistant to join their supportive team this September.

This school believes every pupil deserves an education built around their individual strengths. Through a highly personalised approach, staff work closely with therapists, families and specialist professionals to create learning experiences that help every young person grow in confidence, independence and communication.

• Adapt learning to meet individual needs
• Encourage communication and social development
• Support emotional regulation and positive behaviour
• Build trusting relationships that help pupils feel safe and confident
• Work alongside teachers, therapists and the wider SEND team

Every day is different, but every day offers the opportunity to make a genuine difference.

• Passionate about supporting children and young people with SEND
