Become a 1:1 SEN Teaching Assistant in Edmonton and be the difference they need.

We’re working with a fantastic primary school in Edmonton, North London, to find a compassionate and resilient 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a child with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. This isn’t just any role—it’s a chance to change a young person’s school experience for the better.

The school is all about safety, inclusion, and belief in every child’s potential. They need someone patient, steady, and kind—a person who can help this student navigate big emotions, find their voice, and grow in confidence, both in learning and in life.

Location: Edmonton, North London

Start Date: ASAP

Role: 1:1 SEN Teaching Assistant (SEMH Support)

What you’ll do:

* Build a trusted, supportive relationship with a child who needs help managing emotions and behaviour.
* Use creative strategies—structured play, calming techniques, and positive communication—to help them express themselves.
* Support their learning in literacy, numeracy, and beyond, adapting as they grow.
* Work closely with teachers and the SEN team to create the right approach—because every small win matters.
* Be the consistent, reassuring presence that helps them feel safe and ready to learn.

Is this you?

* You’ve got resilience in spades—working with SEMH can be tough, but you don’t give up easily.
* You’re patient, empathetic, and calm, even when things feel challenging.
* You might have experience with SEN or SEMH (great if you do, but if you’ve got the right attitude, we still want to hear from you!).
* Most importantly, you truly care—you want to help this child believe in themselves.

Why you’ll love this school:

* A warm, inclusive team who’ll have your back and celebrate every bit of progress.
* Training and development to grow your skills in SEMH support.
* Great transport links—easy to get to, right in the heart of Edmonton.
