Start Date: September 2026
Contract: Full-time, long-term (Monday-Friday, term-time only)

September is the ideal time for graduates to begin a rewarding career in education. Starting at the beginning of the academic year allows you to build confidence, gain hands-on classroom experience, and develop a strong foundation for future careers in teaching, educational psychology, or SEN support.

We are currently recruiting Graduate SEN Teaching Assistants to support pupils across a range of Primary, Secondary, and Specialist SEN schools throughout London. These long-term roles offer excellent training, structured support, and the chance to make a meaningful impact supporting young people with additional needs.

⭐ Why This SEN TA Role Stands Out

✅ Full academic year placements for long-term stability
✅ Opportunities across Primary, Secondary, and SEN specialist settings
✅ Paid trial days before committing
✅ Free CPD training in SEN, behaviour management, safeguarding, and autism support
✅ Local placements across London with reasonable commute options
✅ Clear progression routes into teaching, therapy, or psychology

  Provide tailored, individual support to pupils with additional needs such as ASD, ADHD, or learning difficulties
• SEN Teaching Assistant (Class-Based)
  Support groups of pupils within Primary, Secondary, or specialist SEN schools
• Learning Support & Behaviour Assistant

✔ Degree predicted or achieved (1st or 2:1 preferred, but not essential)
✔ GCSEs (A-C / 4-9) in English and Maths
✔ Enthusiastic, patient, and committed to making a difference
✔ Previous experience working with young people (school placements, care, tutoring, or volunteering) is highly desirable
✔ Available full-time from September 2026
