The Role
The school is looking for a compassionate and resilient SEN Teaching Assistant to support a child in Year 3 with significant developmental needs. The child has a cognitive age of approximately 18 months, is non-verbal, and requires full-time 2:1 support.

You should be confident in implementing strategies to support the child's communication, sensory, and emotional regulation needs. Experience in using PECS, Makaton, or AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) would be an advantage.

This is a full-time, long-term position starting in April, providing a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a child’s educational journey.

The School
Located in Peckham, Southwark, this vibrant and diverse two-form entry primary school is easily accessible by public transport. The school has a strong leadership team committed to inclusivity and supporting children with SEND. They provide a nurturing and structured environment, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive. The school places a strong emphasis on community engagement, child-centered learning, and staff development.

The Ideal Candidate

1. Experience working with children with complex SEND needs in a school or similar setting.
2. Team Teach trained.
3. Experience supporting non-verbal children using alternative communication methods.
4. Ability to provide personal care and support for sensory and emotional regulation needs.
5. A calm, positive, and resilient approach to challenging situations.

If you are passionate about supporting children with significant additional needs and want to be part of a supportive and dedicated team, we would love to hear from you! Apply today to make a real difference in a child’s life.
