About the Role:
A welcoming, inclusive primary school in Ealing is seeking a dedicated and resilient SEN Teaching Assistant to join their team.

3. Help deliver targeted interventions for social, emotional, and academic development
4. Work closely with the school's SENCO, class teachers, and external specialists
5. Contribute to a positive, inclusive classroom and playground environment

Essential Requirements:

1. Experience working with children with additional needs or a strong willingness to learn
2. Team Teach training is desirable but not essential (training can be provided)
3. A calm, patient, and proactive approach to managing challenging behaviours
4. Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build trusting relationships quickly
5. Background in youth work, social care, or support work considered highly beneficial
6. Available for a full-time, term-time position

What the school offers:

1. Supportive and experienced SEN and pastoral teams
2. A welcoming, inclusive school community
3. Ongoing CPD opportunities, including behaviour management and autism-specific training
4. Potential for a long-term or permanent role for the right candidate
