Marchant Recruitment
Barnet, Greater London

Location: Barnet, North London
Contract: Full-time, Term Time Only
Start Date: ASAP / Next Term
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

A caring and inclusive primary school in the London Borough of Barnet is seeking a committed EYFS SEN Teaching Assistant to join its Early Years team. This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about supporting young children with additional needs and helping them build strong foundations for learning.

About the School

The school is a well-respected, community-focused primary that places inclusion, wellbeing, and early intervention at the centre of its practice. The Early Years Foundation Stage offers a calm, engaging, and play-based environment where children are encouraged to explore, communicate, and develop independence.

The school has a strong SEN structure in place, with an experienced SENCo and close collaboration between staff, families, and external professionals. Staff are supported through clear guidance, teamwork, and ongoing professional development.

The Role

You will work with children in Nursery or Reception who require additional support to access learning and school routines. Pupils may have a range of needs, including autism spectrum condition (ASC), speech and language difficulties, global developmental delay, sensory needs, or social and emotional challenges.

Support will be delivered through a combination of 1:1 support and small-group interventions, helping children to feel confident, secure, and ready to learn.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide targeted SEN support in line with EHCPs and individual support plans

  • Support access to the EYFS curriculum through structured play and adult-led activities

  • Promote communication, interaction, and social development

  • Support emotional regulation and positive behaviour

  • Use visual supports, routines, and sensory strategies

  • Assist with personal care and toileting where required

  • Observe, monitor, and record progress

  • Work closely with teachers, the SENCo, and external professionals

  • Maintain high standards of safeguarding and child protection

Person Specification

The successful candidate will:

  • Have experience supporting children with SEN, ideally in EYFS

  • Be patient, empathetic, and nurturing

  • Have a good understanding of early childhood development

  • Be reliable, flexible, and proactive

  • Work effectively as part of a team

Relevant qualifications in childcare, education, or SEN are desirable but not essential.

What the School Offers

  • A welcoming and inclusive working environment

  • Ongoing EYFS and SEN training

  • Supportive leadership and mentoring

  • Well-resourced Early Years provision

  • Opportunities for professional growth and progression

This role offers a rewarding opportunity to make a positive impact on children’s early educational experiences.
