Inspiring young people to believe in themselves again

Wimbledon, South West London

Full-time (during term time), long-term to permanent contract (if suitable)

ASAP start

Have you ever met a young person who has already decided school isn't for them and wondered what might happen if someone truly saw their potential?

This is your chance to be that person.

I am working with a brilliant specialist school in Wimbledon, Merton South West London, supporting pupils aged 9-16 with Autism (ASC), and behavioural challenges. Many of these children have experienced trauma, instability, or unmet emotional needs. They might struggle to trust adults, regulate their emotions, or stay engaged in learning, but with the right approach, they thrive.

This school is looking for Autism Teaching Assistants who can bring empathy, structure, and humour to the classroom.

What you will do each day
  • Provide 1:1 and small group support to pupils with Autism
  • Be a calm, consistent role model that pupils can depend on
  • Help young people regulate emotions, manage anxiety, and develop resilience
  • Support teachers and therapists to deliver tailored interventions
  • Encourage pupils to rebuild confidence and celebrate small wins
Understanding SEMH and Autism
  • Autistic individuals can present with frustration, withdrawal, or challenging behaviour
  • These pupils often need relational, therapeutic approaches rather than punishment
  • Autistic pupils may process the world differently, they may struggle with social communication, sensory sensitivity, or sudden change, but bring unique strengths and creativity
  • Your role is to help each child feel safe, valued, and capable. Building trust that leads to real progress
You might be a great fit if...
  • You have experience in youth work, mentoring, psychology, sports coaching, or care
  • You're resilient, patient, and emotionally intelligent
  • You believe that connection is more powerful than correction
  • You can bring warmth, structure, and humour to challenging situations
  • You're looking for a meaningful role with purpose and personal growth
Key information
  • £90 - £100 per day (PAYE), no umbrella deductions
  • Weekly pay and long-term stability
  • Ongoing CPD and training in Autism, SEMH, and trauma-informed practice
  • A supportive, therapeutic school environment
  • Clear progression Many of our Behaviour Mentors move into HLTA or Pastoral Lead roles
If you think this Autism Teaching Assistant position is what you are looking for, apply today or contact Jamie Martinez at Parker Smith Inclusion.
