Located in Wandsworth

Requirements for the Successful Candidate:

Experience supporting children with ASD and/or ADHD
Understanding of behaviour, regulation, and sensory needs
Calm, patient, and proactive approach
Ability to build strong, trusting relationships with pupils
Willingness to commit long-term to provide consistency

Why Join NL Education?

Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a child’s development
Support from experienced and understanding education consultants
Work within a caring and committed school community
Long-term stability and professional development opportunities

If you are an SEN Teaching Assistant who is passionate about supporting children with additional needs and can offer the consistency and care this role requires, we would love to hear from you. Please send in your CV to apply. About NL Education: At NL Education, we specialise in connecting talented teachers and support staff with schools and nurseries across London and the UK. We take pride in offering a personal, professional service built on trust, care and long-term relationships. As an Equal Opportunities employer, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all staff to share this commitment.
