Hillingdon, Greater London

Location: Hillingdon, West London
Contract: Full-time, Term Time Only
Start Date: ASAP / Next Academic Term
Salary: Competitive, based on experience

An inclusive and forward-thinking primary school in the London Borough of Hillingdon is seeking a caring and committed EYFS SEN Teaching Assistant to support pupils with Special Educational Needs within its Early Years provision.

About the School

This primary school is known for its strong sense of community and commitment to meeting the needs of every child. Inclusion is embedded across the school, and early identification and support for SEN is a key strength. The Early Years team works collaboratively to create a nurturing, structured, and engaging environment where children feel safe and valued.

The school has a proactive SENCo, supportive leadership team, and strong links with external professionals to ensure pupils receive high-quality, joined-up support.

The Role

You will be supporting children in Nursery or Reception who require additional help to access learning and develop socially, emotionally, and academically. Many of the children supported in this role have EHCPs or are in the early stages of assessment.

Your work will focus on helping children develop:

  • Communication and language skills

  • Social interaction and play skills

  • Emotional regulation and confidence

  • Independence and self-care

You will work closely with the class teacher to adapt activities and routines to meet individual needs.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

  • Deliver 1:1 and small-group SEN support

  • Implement strategies and interventions set by the SENCo and external specialists

  • Support children during play, learning activities, and transitions

  • Use visual timetables, now-and-next boards, and sensory resources

  • Promote positive behaviour and inclusion

  • Support with personal care and toileting where necessary

  • Observe and record progress and contribute to review meetings

  • Maintain safeguarding and child protection standards

Person Specification

We are seeking someone who:

  • Has experience working with children with SEN, ideally in EYFS

  • Is calm, resilient, and emotionally attuned to young children

  • Has a genuine passion for inclusion and early childhood development

  • Can work effectively as part of a team

  • Is reliable, reflective, and eager to develop professionally

Training or experience in autism support, speech and language needs, or early years education is highly desirable.

What the School Can Offer

  • A supportive and inclusive school culture

  • High-quality SEN and EYFS training opportunities

  • Strong leadership and mentoring

  • A positive, child-centred working environment

  • Valuable experience for those pursuing a career in teaching, SEN, or educational psychology

This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated EYFS SEN Teaching Assistant to play a key role in shaping positive outcomes for young learners.
