About the role: Join our happy and welcoming primary school in Haringey, where children’s success is at the heart of everything we do. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to flourish, and we are looking for a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to provide vital support to students with ASD and challenging behaviours. As a SEN Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with students in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, supporting their academic, social, and emotional development.

You will play a key role in ensuring these students feel understood, supported, and valued, helping them engage with the curriculum and reach their potential.
While qualifications in SEN are beneficial, we also welcome applicants with relevant experience in working with children with ASD. If you have a calm, empathetic approach and a genuine desire to make a difference in children’s lives, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

About the school: Our school is a vibrant, diverse community where many languages are spoken, reflecting the multicultural richness of the area.
