SLD Teaching Assistant
South East London | Full-Time |
Long-Term Opportunities
£90 - £100 per day
The role of a Teaching Assistant within a specialist school is unlike any other. You are not simply supporting lessons. You are helping children communicate, develop independence, regulate emotions, and achieve milestones that can have a lasting impact on their lives.
At Parker Smith Inclusion, we are working with a specialist school that supports children and young people with Severe Learning Difficulties, complex learning needs, and communication differences.
This is a school where every achievement is celebrated. The environment is nurturing, supportive, and centred around helping pupils develop the skills they need both in school and beyond. Staff work closely together, supporting one another and creating a culture where both pupils and adults can thrive.
The Role
As an SLD Teaching Assistant, you will support pupils both in and out of the classroom, helping them access learning, develop communication skills, and build independence.
You may support sensory-based learning, communication activities, personal care routines, and therapeutic interventions, all while helping to create a safe and positive learning environment.
We're Looking For Someone Who:
-
Has experience working with children, young people, or adults with additional needs, or a genuine desire to work within SEND
-
Is patient, resilient, and compassionate
-
Builds positive relationships with pupils and colleagues
-
Understands the importance of communication, consistency, and teamwork
-
Wants to make a meaningful difference every day
Why Apply Through Parker Smith Inclusion?
