SEN Learning Support Assistant

Havering
North East London
£85-£95 per day
Learning Support Assistant – Key Stage 2 Location: Havering | £85 - 90 per day | PAYE only | Temp to Perm The moment everything changes? It’s often quiet. It’s not always the big lesson, or the breakthrough on a worksheet. It’s when a child who usually avoids eye contact asks if you’re in tomorrow. When they hand you a drawing they made just for you. When they finally let you in. If you’ve worked in KS2, you know how much these moments mean, because by this age, some children are already worn down by school. Behaviour plans, detentions, misread signals. Often, their needs aren’t being met, and they don’t have the words to tell you that. But you notice the signs. You tune in. You stay consistent. And slowly, they trust you. This Outstanding primary school in Havering is proud of its inclusive practice, but more than that, they invest in it. That means you’ll be part of a support team that meets regularly, reflects together, and has the leadership backing to actually implement what works. They are looking for someone with: Emotional maturity A calm, grounded presence A genuine interest in the why behind a child’s behaviour You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to show up every day ready to care, adapt, and learn. This is a temp-to-perm role because the school is looking to build long-term relationships—with staff as well as students. Please get in touch if you want to hear more about this role or our other SEND opportunities. Please send your CV to elisha@psinclusion.co.uk, or call us on 0203 011 4848 and ask for Elisha. Now is the time to at least be looking at the opportunities your career so far can offer you. September discussions are happening and we can facilitate conversations with multiple schools.

SEN Learning Support Assistant

Havering
North East London
£85-£95 per day
SEN Learning Support Assistant - Key Stage 1 Location: Havering Pay: £85–£95 per day (PAYE) Contract: Full-time | Temp-to-perm | Start date: ASAP “I don’t want to just manage behaviour. I want to understand it.” If that sounds like you, this school will feel like home. Many Learning Support Assistants are used to being the “extra pair of hands.” You do the work—calm the storm, lift the child, hold the classroom together—but too often, your insight and instincts are left at the door. You’re there, but not fully included. This school is different. Located in Havering and proudly rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2023, this primary school doesn’t just talk about inclusion, it builds it into everything. In Key Stage 1, the children are full of energy and emotion. Some are navigating big feelings they don’t yet have the words for. Some are processing complex needs. Others just need someone calm, consistent and safe. That someone could be you. Whether you’ve supported a child through trauma, autism, ADHD, or speech and language needs—or simply know what it means to listen without judgement—your experience will be welcomed here. You won’t be expected to “fix” children. You’ll be trusted to connect with them. To walk alongside them. To help them learn not just phonics and maths, but how to feel safe and seen in a world that sometimes feels too loud or too fast. You’ll be part of a team who support each other. You’ll have regular chances to develop your skills, share your ideas, and feel part of something meaningful. And if it’s a good fit, this temp-to-perm role will grow into a long-term place where you can really belong. If you've been in a setting where your compassion felt like a burden instead of a strength, this is your chance to flip that story. Please get in touch if you want to hear more about this role or our other SEND opportunities. Please send your CV to elisha@psinclusion.co.uk, or call us on 0203 011 4848 and ask for Elisha.

EYFS - Learning Support Assistant

Havering
North East London
£85-£95 per day
Learning Support Assistant Location: Havering Pay: £85–£95 per day (PAYE) Contract: Full-time | Temp-to-perm | Start date: ASAP “I just want to be in a school where people see what I do. Where I don’t go home feeling invisible.” If that feels familiar, you're not alone. We speak with TAs every day who feel stretched, undervalued, and tired of being seen as ‘extra help’ instead of essential professionals. But not all schools are like that. This Havering-based primary is a rare kind of place. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2023, it’s built on the belief that children flourish when the adults around them do too. The Early Years team here is tight-knit, experienced, and warm. They know that early childhood education is not just a job, it’s a calling. And they want someone who shares that belief. They’re not looking for perfection. They’re looking for presence and passion. Maybe you’ve supported children in schools before. Maybe you’ve helped a child or loved one through a diagnosis, dysregulation, or a moment of feeling completely misunderstood. Maybe you know what it means to be the calm in the storm. That’s what they value here. You’ll be working alongside an EYFS teacher who sees you as a partner, not an assistant. You’ll have access to regular training, but even more importantly—you’ll be part of a team that talks, reflects, and cares. The leadership here doesn’t just talk about wellbeing. They build it into how the school works. Staff are trusted. Voices are heard. Ideas are welcomed. You won’t be left on your own with impossible expectations. You’ll have support, structure, and space to learn. This is a temp-to-perm role—not just to fill a gap, but to give you a real chance to see if the school feels right. And if it does, you’ll be welcomed long-term. If you’ve been waiting for the right setting to give your all—where you’ll be supported to do it—this could be that place. Please get in touch if you want to hear more about this role or our other SEND opportunities. Please send your CV to elisha@psinclusion.co.uk, or call us on 0203 011 4848 and ask for Elisha.
