Commutable from: Southwark, Greenwich, Bromley, and Lambeth
Long Term Futures is looking for a dedicated and adaptive SEN Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming primary school in Lewisham, focusing on 1:1 support within Key Stage 2.
This role is vital in bridging the gap for a student who requires consistent emotional and academic guidance to access the curriculum effectively. You will be responsible for breaking down complex tasks, managing sensory needs, and implementing tailored interventions that foster independence.
Long Term Futures is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All applicants will be subject to safer recruitment checks including an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.
What will you be doing?
- Work 1:1 with a specific student within a KS2 setting, tailoring support to their individual learning and emotional needs.
- Assist the Class Teacher in implementing Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and adapting KS2 curriculum materials.
- Manage challenging behaviour with patience and positive reinforcement techniques.
- Foster an inclusive learning environment where the student feels safe and encouraged.
- Monitor student progress and provide regular feedback to the SENCO and parents.
What do you need?
- Previous experience supporting children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), ideally within KS2.
- A calm, patient, and empathetic nature with the ability to build strong rapport quickly.
- Strong communication skills and a “can-do” attitude.
- Knowledge of PECS, Makaton, or Team Teach is highly desirable but not essential.
- Must hold an enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or be willing to apply for one).
What Long Term Futures Offers…
- Competitive daily rates paid weekly.
- A dedicated consultant to provide ongoing support and career advice.
- Access to free CPD courses to enhance your skills and CV.
- Referral bonus scheme for recommending friends or colleagues.

- Consultation: Have an introductory call with Jack, your dedicated consultant, to support you through registration to placement.
- Interview: Attend a trial day or interview at the school to ensure it’s the right fit for you.
