About the Role
SEN Teaching Assistant – Lewisham
Full-Time | Long-Term to Permanent | £100 per day (PAYE only)
ASAP Start
Are you looking to work with a friendly and supportive team in a fantastic Mainstream Secondary School?
Do you have experience working in a school setting supporting pupils with SEND?
I am now working with a fantastic school in the London Borough of Lewisham whose core values recognise the importance of The Arts and creativity. They are now looking for supportive and resilient Mainstream Secondary School SEN TAs to join their wonderful team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for experienced Teaching Assistants and Learning Support Assistants to join a Secondary School working to have a hugely positive effect on the lives of pupils with Autism and Special Educational Needs
What You’ll Do
You’ll work alongside skilled teachers and therapists, supporting students in the classroom, and playground. You’ll help children feel safe, regulated, and proud of their progress, even the small wins that most people miss.
It’s not a role where you stand on the side. You’ll be actively involved with communication, personal care, sensory support, and more. Some of the children are nonverbal, some are full of energy, but all of them need someone who sees their potential.
What Makes You Right for This
You might be a psychology graduate, an aspiring teacher, or someone with care or school experience. Maybe you’ve supported a sibling or family member with additional needs. Whatever your background, you’re here because you care. You’re curious. You’re resilient. And when others give up, you don’t.
- Experience with SEN (Autism, SLD, complex needs) is ideal – personal or professional
- You’re calm under pressure and genuinely want to make a difference
- Full-time availability during term time is essential (8:45am–3:30pm)
What You’ll Get in Return
- Weekly PAYE pay – no umbrella companies, ever
- Ongoing support from an ethical SEN specialist team (that’s us!)
- A long-term home in a school where you’ll be valued, trained, and supported
- The kind of role that leaves you tired in the best way, because it meant something
