SEN Teaching Assistant – Full-Time (term time only) Long-Term to Permanent – Tolworth £85 - £95 PAYE per day – Weekly Pay ASAP Start Imagine working in a place where every day is different, where you have the chance to truly make a difference, and where the work you do has a lasting impact on the lives of young people. This is more than just a job—it’s an opportunity to be part of something meaningful. We are looking for a passionate and dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join an exceptional team in a specialist environment. If you have a background in Health and Social Care, Early Years, or Primary education, or if you have experience supporting someone with SEN within your family or friendship circle, this is the perfect role for you. Your ability to bring compassion, patience, and creativity to every interaction will be highly valued, as you’ll be supporting students with a range of complex needs in a supportive, nurturing setting. The children you will work with are full of potential, and it’s your role to help them unlock it. You’ll be engaging with students through play-based learning, creative activities, and sensory play, providing the individual support they need to thrive. No two days will ever be the same—whether you’re helping with hydrotherapy swimming sessions, assisting with personal care, or guiding children through learning activities, your day will be full of purpose and positivity. What makes this role special is that it’s not just about supporting the children academically—it’s about helping them build confidence, independence, and resilience in a setting where they feel safe and valued. You’ll be part of a close-knit, collaborative team, working together to ensure every child has the best possible experience at school. The environment is creative, inclusive, and designed to make every child feel at home, no matter their challenges. If you’re someone who thrives in an environment where your work truly matters, where every child’s journey is celebrated, and where your efforts will be appreciated every day, then this is the role for you. You’ll receive training and support to help you develop your skills, especially if you’re new to working in specialist education. With weekly pay, a competitive daily rate, and a long-term to permanent opportunity, this is the perfect chance to build a meaningful career in SEN education.

Nurture Teacher – SEMH School – Full-Time Long-Term to Permanent – September Start Richmond, South West London Salary: £160 - £250 PAYE per day, depending on experience and qualifications Some schools change lives. This one is still in its early chapters, and you could be part of shaping its story. Opened just last year, this specialist SEMH school in Richmond has already made a huge impact. Designed for children who have struggled in mainstream settings, it provides a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where they can rebuild confidence and rediscover a love for learning. Now, as the school expands this September, they are looking for a Nurture Teacher to join their growing team. Why This Role Matters For many students, school has been a place of frustration, anxiety, or even failure. Your role as a Nurture Teacher will change that. You'll create a space where children feel safe, understood, and ready to engage in learning—often for the first time in years. This isn't about following a rigid curriculum. It’s about meeting students where they are and guiding them forward at their own pace. Some days, that might mean working through emotions before tackling a maths lesson. Other days, it’s celebrating a small but significant breakthrough—a child staying in class for the full session, taking part in group activities, or expressing how they feel. What This School Offers You A Purpose-Driven Environment – Every aspect of the school is built around the needs of students with SEMH, from small class sizes to therapeutic support. A Growing, Supportive Team – You won’t be stepping into an established system—you’ll help shape it. The leadership team is committed to giving staff the freedom and support to try new approaches and make a real difference. Career Growth & Development – As the school expands, so will your opportunities. Whether you’re looking to progress into leadership or specialise further, this is the place to grow. Who They’re Looking For A qualified teacher (QTS/QTLS) with a passion for SEMH education An unqualified teacher with proven experience teaching children with Autism and SEMH Someone who values relationships over rigid teaching methods A teacher who understands that progress comes in many forms, not just academic grades If you’re looking for a teaching role where you can genuinely change lives, this could be it. Be part of this school’s next chapter as they grow in September. If this opportunity fits your current circumstances and ambition, please contact us to discuss how we can guide and advise you.
