SEN Teaching Assistant – Newham – ASAP Start

Are you a recent graduate with a passion for supporting students with Special Educational Needs?

We have a fantastic opportunity for an SEN Teaching Assistant to join a dynamic and supportive secondary school in Newham, East London, starting ASAP.

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you will be an integral part of a dedicated team, working closely with students who have a range of learning needs, including autism, dyslexia, and emotional or behavioural challenges. This role is perfect for someone who is committed to ensuring all students have the opportunity to succeed in a nurturing and inclusive environment.

You will provide tailored support to students on a one-to-one basis or in small groups, adapting your approach to meet their individual needs. Working closely with the class teacher, you will help deliver engaging lessons that are accessible to students with SEN, ensuring they are fully included in the classroom experience. Your support will also extend to helping students develop their social and emotional skills, building their confidence, and managing any challenges they may face throughout the school day.

In addition to academic support, you will assist with classroom management, contributing to a calm, positive, and productive learning environment. You will be instrumental in maintaining a space where all students can thrive and succeed. Regular feedback sessions with the SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) and teaching staff will ensure that each student’s progress is monitored and supported.

To thrive in this SEN Teaching Assistant role, you should have a strong passion for working with students with additional needs, along with the empathy and patience to support their personal and academic development. While prior experience in an SEN setting is desirable, it is not essential. This is a fantastic opportunity for graduates eager to pursue a career in education, particularly those with an interest in special education.

The school offers excellent professional development opportunities, including tailored SEN training, as well as career progression pathways. This is the perfect role for anyone looking to gain valuable experience in the education sector, especially those considering long-term careers in teaching or special educational needs.

Located in the heart of Newham, a diverse and vibrant borough with excellent transport links to Central London, the school fosters an inclusive environment where every student is supported to reach their potential. You will be part of a team that values collaboration, inclusivity, and the holistic development of every student.

If you’re excited about making a difference in the lives of students with SEN and want to contribute to their educational journey, we’d love to hear from you.
