SEN Teaching Assistant

About the Role

We are seeking an enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistant to join a vibrant and supportive secondary school in Brent. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone passionate about education and eager to make a real difference in the lives of young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN).

In this role, you’ll work closely with Key Stage 4 students, supporting them across a range of subjects to access the curriculum and reach their full potential. You’ll also play an active role in supervising break, lunch, and homework clubs, while collaborating with teachers and staff during department meetings and training sessions.

What We’re Looking For

We want motivated, proactive individuals with energy, empathy, and a genuine commitment to supporting students. Whether you’re an experienced TA or just starting out, your ability to listen, problem-solve, and build confidence in learners will be key. Essential attributes include:

• Reliability and punctuality

• Strong communication and teamwork skills

• A caring, approachable nature with a student-first mindset

Why Join Us?

This role offers much more than classroom support:

• Professional Development – regular in-house training and opportunities to grow your skills.

• Supportive Community – a large, friendly staff team that works collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.

• Valuable Experience – ideal for aspiring teachers or those wanting to deepen their expertise in SEN.

• Impactful Work – every day, you’ll make a tangible difference in young people’s lives.

If you’re ready to take on this rewarding challenge and be part of a school community that values dedication, creativity, and student success, we’d love to hear from you.
