SEN Support Assistant – Key Stage 2 Location: Havering | £90 - £100 per day | PAYE only | Temp to Perm The moment everything changes? It’s rarely loud or dramatic. Sometimes, it’s a quiet moment in the corridor. A glance, a nod, a small act of trust. A child who normally keeps their distance asks if you’ll be back tomorrow. They hand you a scribbled drawing they made just for you. They begin to let you in. If you’ve worked in Key Stage 2, you’ll know exactly what that feels like. By this age, some children already carry heavy experiences - misunderstood behaviours, unmet needs, the weight of being labelled before being heard. But you see beyond that. You notice what others might miss. You listen. You show up. And slowly, they begin to trust you. This Outstanding primary school in Havering takes inclusion seriously. It’s not just a line in a brochure it’s backed by real investment. You’ll be part of a nurturing, skilled support team that meets regularly, reflects honestly, and has the full backing of leadership to put good ideas into practice. They’re looking for someone with: Emotional maturity A calm, steady presence A genuine curiosity about the ‘why’ behind behaviour You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be present, open to learning, and committed to building trust - one day at a time. This is a temp-to-perm role because this school values long-term relationships - not just with pupils, but with the adults who support them. If this sounds like the right opportunity for you - or if you're curious to explore other SEND roles - we’d love to have a confidential chat.
