SEN Teaching Assistant

Southall, Ealing
Full-Time Immediate Start Long-Term

A supportive and inclusive primary school in Southall is seeking an experienced and committed SEN Teaching Assistant to join their team as soon as possible on a full-time, long-term basis.

This is a rewarding opportunity to work closely with pupils who require additional support, helping them access learning and make meaningful progress in a well-structured school environment.

About the School

This well-run primary school is known for its strong focus on inclusion and pupil wellbeing. Staff work collaboratively to ensure all children are supported, and there is a clear structure in place for SEN provision.

The school offers:

• A welcoming and inclusive environment
• Supportive and approachable senior leadership
• Clear behaviour policies and consistent routines
• Dedicated spaces for interventions and SEN support
• A collaborative staff team who work closely together
• Good transport links across Southall, including access to the Elizabeth Line

The school places a strong emphasis on teamwork and values reliable, consistent support staff.

The Role

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you will:

• Provide 1:1 and small group support for pupils with additional needs
• Support children with a range of SEN, including autism, speech and language needs, and learning difficulties
• Deliver targeted interventions to support literacy, numeracy, and communication
• Work closely with the class teacher and SENCo to implement support strategies
• Help pupils stay engaged and access the curriculum
• Promote positive behaviour and emotional regulation
• Monitor progress and provide feedback to staff

This role requires patience, consistency, and the ability to build strong relationships with pupils.

What the School Is Looking For

• Experience supporting children with SEN in a UK primary school
• A calm, patient, and nurturing approach
