We are seeking an experienced and resilient SEN Teaching Assistant to provide 1:1 support for an autistic child, both in and outside the classroom.

The successful candidate will have a strong understanding of autism and be confident supporting a child with additional needs, adapting strategies to support learning, emotional regulation, and engagement throughout the school morning. This role requires patience, consistency, and the ability to build a trusting relationship.

The role includes:

• Providing 1:1 support tailored to the child’s individual needs

• Supporting learning activities within the classroom and during transitions

• Working closely with teaching staff and SEN professionals

• Promoting positive behaviour, independence, and inclusion

Essential / Preferred:

• Previous experience supporting autistic children (essential/preferred)

• A calm, resilient, and flexible approach

• Strong communication and teamwork skills

This is a morning-only position to begin with, as the child is currently on a part-time timetable, with the potential for hours to increase in the future.

If you are an experienced SEN TA looking for a rewarding 1:1 role and can start immediately, we would love to hear from you.
