SEN 1:1 Teaching Assistant - Redbridge

Marchant Recruitment
Ilford, Greater London

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.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide dedicated 1:1 support to a pupil with special educational needs

  • Support the pupil with learning activities, following teacher guidance

  • Help the pupil regulate emotions and manage behaviour positively

  • Implement strategies from the pupil’s IEP, EHCP, or behaviour plan

  • Support communication, social skills, and engagement with peers

  • Assist with transitions between lessons and activities

  • Work closely with the class teacher, SENCO, and wider support staff

  • Monitor progress and provide regular feedback to teaching staff

  • Promote independence while offering appropriate levels of support

  • Follow safeguarding, behaviour, and school policies at all times

The Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate will:

  • Have experience supporting children with SEN, particularly in a 1:1 role

  • 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.

How to Apply

To apply, please submit an up-to-date CV outlining your experience and suitability for the role.

Start Date: ASAP
This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references. The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
