Long Term Futures are supporting a warm, welcoming primary school in Northfield who are seeking a caring and reliable Reception SEN Teaching Assistant. This long-term role involves supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Speech, Language & Communication Needs (SLCN) within a busy, play-based Reception classroom. You’ll work alongside the class teacher and an experienced TA to provide calm, structured and engaging support throughout the school day.

The Cabin offers a quiet, structured environment with sensory equipment, an interactive screen, and activities such as Bucket Time, sensory play and communication-focused interventions. You’ll work closely with staff and parents to develop communication, emotional regulation, independence and early learning skills. This role is long term and may become permanent for the right candidate.
The Ideal Candidate
- Experience supporting children in a school, nursery or Early Years setting
- Confident working with children with ASD, SLCN, delayed communication or sensory needs
- Able to provide 1:1 and small-group support to children with identified SEN
- Understanding of sensory regulation strategies and therapeutic approaches

- Holds TA qualifications or a relevant degree
- Calm, patient and able to work well within a supportive team
