Are you an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant with a strong background in autism support? This welcoming, forward-thinking non-denominational three-form entry community school in Barnet is seeking a calm, knowledgeable and confident SEN / Autism Support Teaching Assistant to join their team as soon as possible.

This is a school where inclusion is central to everyday practice. Autism is a significant and well-understood part of the school s SEN provision, and staff work collaboratively to ensure pupils feel supported, understood and able to succeed. The school is housed in a fantastic modern building, offering a spacious, well-resourced and fully accessible learning environment. The grounds are equally impressive, with beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces that enhance learning, play and wellbeing. An on-site resourced provision for pupils with physical disabilities and a pre-school assessment centre for children with complex needs further reflect the school s inclusive ethos.

About the role

This is a rotational SEN support role, rather than being fixed to one class all day. You will support two verbal autistic pupils:

• One in Year 2
• One in Year 5

Both pupils access learning differently from their peers and require adapted work and thoughtful support to manage classroom demands.

Key responsibilities include:

• Providing in-class support to autistic pupils during lessons
• Supporting pupils to complete adapted or differentiated work
• Helping pupils step out of class appropriately to regulate when needed
• Using calm, consistent and low-level behaviour management strategies
• Supporting social understanding and classroom routines
• Working flexibly across classes as part of a wider SEN team

The ideal candidate will:

• Have proven experience supporting autistic children in school settings (essential)
• Use appropriate, respectful language and strategies when working with autistic pupils
• Be calm, patient and emotionally attuned
• Understand autism presentation, regulation needs and sensory differences
• Be confident working independently while collaborating closely with staff

This is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive school with outstanding facilities, a clear SEN vision and a genuine commitment to inclusive education.

• Offer an excellent refer a friend scheme that pays you £150 for each candidate you refer to us after they have worked and been paid for their first 10 days.
• Pay in line with the Agency Worker Regulations (AWR) meaning you will be paid equally to a permanent employee.
• Give you access to a wide range of CPD training through our in-house team of experienced senior leaders.

We are committed to promoting equality and challenging discrimination.
