We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join a specialist special school in Redbridge. This full-time, temporary-to-permanent role is an excellent opportunity to support students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), helping them to achieve their full potential in a nurturing and inclusive environment.

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you will play a crucial role in assisting students with learning, behaviour, and emotional development, ensuring they have the support they need to thrive. Working closely with teachers, therapists, and support staff, you will help create a structured and engaging learning experience tailored to the needs of each student.

  • Monitor and record student progress, providing feedback to teaching staff.
  • Uphold safeguarding policies and ensure the welfare and well-being of all students.

Qualifications and Experience:

  • Previous experience working with SEND students is desirable but not essential.
  • A patient, proactive, and empathetic approach to supporting students.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills.
  • The ability to build positive relationships with students and staff.
  • A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
