SEN Teaching Assistant - Enfield
Start: September | SEN Primary School

Are you a caring, patient, and skilled SEN Teaching Assistant looking for a role where you can make a real difference every day?

We're working with a dedicated SEN primary school in Enfield seeking a committed SEN TA to join their specialist SEND provision from September. This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a supportive, well-resourced environment where inclusion, pupil wellbeing, and personalised learning are at the heart of everything.

Why This Role Is Special
The school supports pupils with complex needs including Autism (ASC), ADHD, speech & language difficulties, sensory needs, and global developmental delay. Many children follow personalised learning programmes and thrive with structured routines and therapeutic support. You'll be joining a strong, collaborative SEND team where your skills and dedication are valued and your contribution truly makes a difference.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Providing 1:1 and small group support in the specialist SEND provision

  • Helping pupils with communication, emotional regulation, and engagement in learning

  • Following personalised support plans and EHCP targets

  • Supporting personal care where required (toileting, feeding, etc.)

  • Working closely with class teachers, SENCO, and external professionals

  • Creating a calm, structured, and positive learning environment

  • Encouraging independence, confidence, and social development

Who We're Looking For

  • Experience supporting children with ASD, ADHD, or complex learning needs

  • Calm, patient, and resilient, with strong behaviour management skills

  • Confident working with non-verbal or limited-communication pupils

  • Comfortable supporting personal care needs

  • Strong team player who values consistency and collaboration

  • Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willing to obtain one)

Both experienced SEN TAs and confident mainstream TAs looking to move into a specialist environment are welcome to apply.

What We Offer

  • Competitive daily pay (paid weekly)

  • Long-term opportunity with potential for permanent placement

  • September start

  • Dedicated consultant support throughout your placements

  • The chance to make a meaningful impact in a nurturing, inclusive school

If you're passionate about helping children with additional needs thrive, this role is perfect for you.
