Teach Plus are currently recruiting for a dedicated and compassionate SEN Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming and inclusive primary school in Peckham, Southwark, starting ASAP. 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 school is committed to providing a nurturing and supportive learning environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to achieve their full potential. With a broad and engaging curriculum, an emphasis on positive behaviour and a commitment to children’s personal development, the school encourages pupils to become confident, independent and enthusiastic learners.
