Salary: £85 - £90 per day (PAYE)

Are you an experienced Teaching Assistant looking for a role where you can truly make a difference? Do you believe that every child deserves to be supported, understood, and valued? If so, we want to hear from you!

We’re currently partnering with a wonderful group of primary schools in Barking and Dagenham, all dedicated to fostering inclusive, nurturing environments for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). These schools prioritise the well-being and professional growth of their staff, providing opportunities to make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of their pupils.

Who We're Looking For:

We are seeking compassionate, experienced individuals who:

  • Recognise that every behaviour is a form of communication and handle challenging situations with patience and understanding.
  • Have experience supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and are familiar with proven interventions.
  • Hold or are willing to undergo positive handling or Team Teach training (preferred but not essential).
  • Are passionate about empowering children with SEN to achieve their full potential.
  • Have a background in supporting SEN students, either as a graduate or through hands-on experience.
  • Are looking for a long-term, stable role where they can build meaningful relationships with children, staff, and the wider school community.

At Parker Smith Inclusion, we believe that consistency is crucial for both children and schools. We don’t offer daily supply roles – we focus on providing dependable, long-term support to ensure the best outcomes.

What You'll Gain:

  • Long-Term Flexibility: Enjoy placements tailored to suit your needs.
  • Competitive Pay: £85 - £90 per day (PAYE).
  • Career Growth: Work in schools that actively support and encourage your professional development.
  • Personal Fulfillment: Make a real difference in the lives of children with SEN.

Why This Role Matters:

For children with SEN, the right support is transformative. They need dedicated Teaching Assistants who can advocate for their needs, support their strengths, and provide a sense of stability and care.

Ready to Make a Real Impact?

If you’re ready to take on a rewarding, meaningful role that truly makes a difference, we’d love to hear from you. Send your CV to elisha@psinclusion.co.uk and join us in helping create brighter futures for children with SEN.
