Finchley, United Kingdom Teach Now Full time

Teach Now is delighted to be recruiting for a warm, welcoming, and highly regarded primary school in Finchley, known for its strong sense of community and commitment to nurturing the whole child. For over 50 years, the school has proudly served its local Catholic community, fostering an environment where pupils can flourish academically, socially, morally, and spiritually. The school embraces diversity and is open to staff and pupils from all backgrounds.

About the Role

We are seeking a caring, patient, and proactive SEN Teaching Assistant to support a small group of three children who work together at the same table. Two pupils have ASD and another has GD; they are close friends who thrive when supported consistently and calmly. This is a rewarding role with no violent or challenging behaviour, ideal for someone who excels in providing structure, reassurance, and tailored learning support.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with focus, attention, and concentration strategies

• Providing learning breaks, sensory adjustments, and task breakdowns

• Delivering English interventions for pupils who are EAL learners

• Supporting the whole class when your key pupils are on task

• Collaborating with teachers to promote independence and engagement

Why This School?

• A happy, successful, and community-driven environment

• A school known for its warmth, compassion, and dedication to pupil wellbeing

• A supportive team where your input truly matters

• An ethos rooted in values, respect, and high aspirations for every child

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about SEN support who is eager to make a genuine difference in a nurturing, positive school setting.
