Reeson Education is looking for a compassionate, dedicated Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming primary school in the OL9 area this September. This is a full-time, long-term Teaching Assistant role working 1:1 with a delightful Key Stage 2 pupil with autism who is non-verbal.

This is not a behavioural support role - the pupil is calm and pleasant, but they need a Teaching Assistant who can nurture communication skills, encourage social development, and adapt learning in a way that makes sense to them. The Teaching Assistant will support learning outside the classroom for part of the day, gradually encouraging integration into the main class where possible.

Teaching Assistant - Key Responsibilities:

• Provide 1:1 support to a KS2 pupil with ASD who is non-verbal
• Work with the class team to develop communication strategies and learning tasks
• Support the pupil's emotional and social progress throughout the day
• Help ease transitions from a quieter, personalised space into the classroom
• Maintain a calm, structured, and positive learning environment
• Adapt teaching resources under guidance from the class teacher and SENDCO

Teaching Assistant - The Ideal Candidate:

• Prior experience as a Teaching Assistant supporting pupils with autism
• Comfortable using visual aids, sensory strategies, or alternative communication methods
• A patient, empathetic and consistent approach to support
• Someone who can build trust and connection over time
• Flexible, team-oriented and keen to help a young learner thrive

Why apply for this Teaching Assistant role?

• Opportunity to work in a well-supported, nurturing school environment
• Long-term, stable Teaching Assistant position with real impact
• Lovely pupil with no extreme behaviour - just in need of guidance and encouragement
• Friendly staff team and fantastic facilities for SEND support
• Clear routine, hours, and expectations

If you're a caring and capable Teaching Assistant who believes in building confidence and communication through consistency and kindness, this role is for you.

Apply today - Reeson Education would love to hear from you.
