About the Role

SEND Teaching Assistant – Empowering Children with Autism

Location: Havering
Salary: £85 - £90 per day (PAYE)
Temp to Perm

Being a SEND Teaching Assistant is about more than just supporting students—it’s about working in an environment that truly values the work you do. In this well-resourced mainstream primary school in Havering, the ARP provision for children with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) is designed to ensure both students and staff thrive.

With specialist resources, dedicated sensory spaces, and a strong, supportive team, this school provides the tools you need to make a real impact. More importantly, the leadership team understands that when staff feel valued, supported, and inspired, students benefit the most.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • A well-structured and successful ASC provision – Focus on delivering meaningful, tailored support.

  • A collaborative and experienced team – Work with professionals who value and invest in staff development.

  • A school that prioritises well-being – Wellness days and mental health support for all staff.

  • Genuine career progression opportunities – Whether you want to specialise further or move into teacher training, the pathway is there.

What We’re Looking For:

It’s ideal to have experience working in a similar setting or a background that allows you to bring personal experience in supporting children with Autism. Your compassion, dedication, and willingness to learn are essential in making a positive difference.

Starting a new role can feel like a leap of faith, but in the right environment, it’s the first step toward something incredibly rewarding. If you’re looking for a school that will nurture your skills, recognise your dedication, and help you grow, this could be the perfect place for you.

Call 0203 011 4848 or send your CV to elisha@psinclusion.co.uk to take the next step in your career.
