East Barnet, United Kingdom Teach Now Full time

Teach Now is seeking a compassionate, resilient and experienced SEN Teaching Assistant to support a Year 3 pupil on a 1:1 basis within a warm, nurturing and community-focused primary setting in Barnet. This is an excellent opportunity for someone skilled in supporting children with behavioural needs and looking to make a meaningful impact in a caring school environment.

About the Role

You will be working closely with a Year 3 boy who understands English but has limited spoken language. Over the past year, he has begun to display challenging behaviours, which has resulted in a temporary reduced timetable—currently attending school until 1:00 PM (3:00 PM on Tuesdays).
He has a diagnosis of ADHD, enjoys football, and thrives on positive social interaction, though he can find peer relationships difficult due to impulsivity.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing consistent 1:1 support throughout the school day

• Implementing behaviour-regulation strategies and supporting emotional needs

• Encouraging engagement in learning and social activities

• Building trust and rapport to help the student feel safe, supported and motivated

• Working closely with teaching staff and another colleague for handover and shared support

• Supporting the development of communication and regulation skills

What We’re Looking For

• Experience supporting children with challenging behaviours (1:1 essential)

• Restraint/Positive Handling training is highly desirable (training can be provided)

• Patience, resilience, and the ability to work calmly under pressure

• A nurturing approach aligned with the school’s strong family ethos

If you are dedicated, proactive and committed to helping children thrive, we’d love to hear from you.
