We're seeking a motivated and compassionate SEN Teaching Assistant to join a specialist school in South London, supporting pupils aged 5-19 with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs.

Hours: Monday to Friday, 08:30am - 4:00pm
Location: South London
Start Date: ASAP
Why This Role Stands Out
- Join a dedicated, passionate team making a genuine difference each day.
- Benefit from full training and continuous support to help you grow and succeed.
- Work in a creative, flexible, and inclusive environment that prioritises holistic progress.

We welcome applications from:
- Experienced SEN Teaching Assistants
- Individuals with proven experience supporting children with SEN or SEMH needs
- People confident in behaviour management and delivering tailored support strategies
Key Responsibilities
- Support pupils with SEMH needs in the classroom and during wider school activities
- Assist teachers in delivering personalised lessons and interventions
- Help create a safe, structured, and engaging learning environment
- Encourage confidence, independence, and positive development in every learner
- Work collaboratively with teachers, therapists, and families to support holistic progress
Requirements

- Two employment references covering the last 24 months
What We Offer

This role offers more than day-to-day responsibilities-it's an opportunity to positively shape young lives and be part of something truly meaningful.
If you're ready to inspire, support, and grow within a role that makes a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
