Marchant Recruitment
London

Location: Westminster, London
Contract: Full-time, Term Time Only
Start Date: Next Term
Salary: Competitive, based on experience

An inclusive and forward-thinking primary school in the City of Westminster is seeking a caring and enthusiastic EYFS SEN Teaching Assistant to support children with Special Educational Needs within its Early Years provision.

About the School

This school is proud of its inclusive ethos and strong commitment to early intervention. Serving a diverse inner-London community, the school places a high value on nurturing children’s emotional wellbeing alongside academic development. The Early Years setting is well-resourced, calm, and carefully structured to meet the needs of all learners.

Staff benefit from strong leadership, collaborative working practices, and access to high-quality training. SEN support is embedded throughout the EYFS provision, with close partnership working between teachers, the SENCo, and external agencies.

The Role

You will work closely with children in Nursery or Reception who need additional support to engage with learning and school routines. Many pupils supported in this role have EHCPs or emerging SEN needs.

Your role will involve supporting children to:

  • Develop communication and language skills

  • Build social interaction and play skills

  • Regulate emotions and behaviour

  • Develop independence and self-care

Support will be delivered through a combination of 1:1 work, small-group interventions, and in-class support.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide consistent, tailored SEN support

  • Implement strategies set by the class teacher and SENCo

  • Support learning through play-based and adult-led activities

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

  • Encourage positive behaviour and inclusion

  • Assist with personal care and hygiene when required

  • Monitor and record progress

  • Uphold safeguarding and health & safety procedures

Person Specification

We are looking for someone who:

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

  • Is calm, patient, and nurturing

  • Has strong communication and teamwork skills

  • Is committed to inclusion and safeguarding

  • Is eager to learn and develop professionally

Experience supporting children with autism or speech and language needs is highly desirable.

What the School Can Offer

  • A welcoming and inclusive staff team

  • Excellent CPD and SEN training opportunities

  • Supportive leadership and clear guidance

  • A positive, well-resourced EYFS environment

  • Valuable experience for a long-term career in education or SEN

This is an excellent opportunity to support young children at a crucial stage in their learning journey.
