Job description

SEN Teaching Assistant - Diabetes Trained
Location: Lambeth
Salary: £95-£115 per day

We are looking for a compassionate and experienced SEN Teaching Assistant to support a pupil with complex medical needs in a Lambeth-based school. This role requires a professional with Diabetes training and, ideally, a nursing background, to provide both educational and medical support throughout the school day.

The role:

  • Supporting a student with diabetes management and day-to-day classroom participation

  • Monitoring health and responding to medical needs confidently and calmly

  • Working closely with teachers, parents, and healthcare professionals

  • Promoting a safe, inclusive, and nurturing learning environment

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Previous experience supporting children with SEN in a school setting

  • Specific training or experience in Diabetes care (including insulin and glucose monitoring)

  • A background in nursing or healthcare (preferred)

  • A calm, patient, and empathetic approach

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in a child's school experience while using your medical knowledge in an educational environment.

If you're an experienced SEN TA or healthcare professional looking to transition into education, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today to join a supportive Lambeth school community and start making an impact.
