Start: November Pay: £95.00-£100.00 per day Zest Education is proud to be working in partnership with a fantastic mainstream primary school in Harlesden. The school benefits from its own on-site ASD provision. We are seeking an enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join the school on a full-time basis. The role will primarily be to support a Year 3 pupil with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This rewarding role involves providing 1:1 support to a child with ASD, helping to create a positive and accessible learning experience. You will play a key role in supporting the child’s academic and emotional development. You will be able to adapt your approach to meet individual needs and building trust. Working closely with teaching staff, you will help deliver learning activities, encourage engagement, and contribute to a nurturing environment where the child can thrive.

The school is a well-regarded four-form entry primary school with a supportive leadership team and a strong commitment to staff development. Comprehensive training is provided, meaning previous school-based experience is not essential if you have transferable skills, relevant personal experience, and a genuine passion for supporting children and young people.

The successful candidate will be patient, proactive, and eager to make a real difference. In return, you will join a welcoming and inclusive school community with excellent sensory facilities and a warm, supportive atmosphere.

• Previous school-based experience or transferable skills from another setting
• A patient, resilient, and compassionate approach to supporting children
• The ability to commit to full-time hours
• A desire to build long-term relationships, with the potential for a permanent contract for the right candidate
