About the role and school

Teach Plus are currently recruiting for a dedicated and compassionate SEN Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming and inclusive primary school in Brent, starting January 2027. This full-time SEN Teaching Assistant position is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Teaching Assistant who is passionate about supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The successful SEN Teaching Assistant will work closely with class teachers and the SENCO to provide tailored 1:1 and small-group support for pupils with additional learning needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, speech and language difficulties and social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH). The role will focus on helping pupils access the primary curriculum, develop independence and build confidence within the classroom environment.

The school is a vibrant and inclusive primary school situated in the Stonebridge area of Brent, serving a diverse and multicultural local community. With a strong commitment to inclusion, high expectations and raising aspirations, the school places great importance on ensuring every child receives the support needed to achieve their potential. The school offers a broad and engaging curriculum within a nurturing learning environment, encouraging pupils to develop confidence, independence and positive relationships. Teachers and support staff work collaboratively to promote positive behaviour, emotional wellbeing and academic progress, ensuring children with additional needs are supported throughout their school journey.

This SEN Teaching Assistant opportunity would particularly suit a patient, resilient and proactive individual with previous experience supporting children with SEND in a mainstream primary school or specialist setting. The school is looking for a confident and adaptable SEN Teaching Assistant who can build positive relationships with pupils, implement effective support strategies and respond sensitively to individual learning and behavioural needs. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about SEN education to make a genuine difference to children’s academic, social and emotional development while gaining valuable experience within a supportive primary school environment.
