A vibrant and inclusive primary school in the heart of Camden is seeking a compassionate and confident ABA Teaching Assistant to support a child in Year 2 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

• Encouraging social and emotional development using positive reinforcement
• Delivering small group instruction where appropriate and tracking progress monitoring

What We're Looking For:

• Proven experience with ASD, ABA, or behavioural support
• Clear communicator with excellent spoken English
• Confident, patient, and creative in adapting to the needs of the child
• Experience working at Nursery or Early Years level desirable
• Psychology or education graduates encouraged to apply

Why Work with Long Term Futures?

• Weekly pay, long-term roles, and access to permanent opportunities
• Bespoke support from consultants who specialise in SEND placements
• Ideal stepping stone for careers in teaching, psychology, or therapy
• Opportunities to train alongside experienced professionals and ABA practitioners
