Southwark, South East London

A vibrant and inclusive SEN school based in Southwark is seeking a compassionate and confident ABA Teaching Assistant to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Although in Year 2, the pupil is currently working at Nursery-level developmentally and benefits from a structured Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) programme.

This role would suit someone with experience in behaviour management, early years development, or a background in psychology or SEN support. The pupil has complex communication needs and requires calm, consistent one-on-one assistance from an engaging adult who understands how to deliver individualised learning strategies.

The Role:

• Working 1:1 with a child with ASD and high behavioural needs
• Supporting early learning through tailored, low-arousal teaching strategies
• Implementing the child's ABA plan under the guidance of external therapists and SEN staff
• 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 Remedy?

• 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
