Job description

SEN Teaching Assistant - Greenwich
Start: ASAP | Mainstream Secondary with Specialist SEND Provision

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 large, inclusive Secondary school in Greenwich seeking a dedicated SEN TA to join their specialist SEND provision. This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a supportive, well-resourced environment where inclusion, pupil wellbeing, and personalised learning are a genuine priority.

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, 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
  • Immediate 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.
