SEN 1:1 Teaching Assistant - Redbridge
We are seeking a patient, nurturing, and committed SEN 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a pupil with additional needs at a welcoming and inclusive primary school in Redbridge, starting as soon as possible. This is a highly rewarding role for someone who is passionate about supporting children with special educational needs and helping them thrive both academically and emotionally.
The school has a strong inclusive ethos and a dedicated SEN team that works closely with pupils, families, and external professionals. Staff are supportive, collaborative, and committed to creating a positive learning environment where every child feels safe, understood, and valued.
In this role, you will work one-to-one with a pupil who requires additional support throughout the school day. The pupil may have needs such as autism (ASD), ADHD, speech and language difficulties, or social, emotional, and mental health needs (SEMH). You will provide consistent support, helping the pupil access learning, manage emotions, and develop confidence and independence.

Support the pupil with learning activities, following teacher guidance
Help the pupil regulate emotions and manage behaviour positively

Be calm, patient, and empathetic
Have a genuine passion for supporting pupils with additional needs
Be confident supporting behaviour, emotional regulation, and engagement
Have strong communication and teamwork skills
Be reliable, resilient, and adaptable
Be committed to safeguarding and pupil wellbeing
Experience supporting pupils with ASD, ADHD, SEMH, or communication needs is highly desirable. However, the school is also keen to hear from candidates with transferable experience and a strong desire to work in SEN education.
The school is based in Redbridge and is easily accessible via public transport. You will be joining a school that values staff wellbeing and provides ongoing support and guidance to SEN staff.
