SEN Teaching Assistant
Kingston
South West London
£85 - £95 PAYE
SEN Teaching Assistant – Kingston Upon Thames
Full-Time | Term-Time Only | £85–£95 per day | PAYE only
ASAP Start
There are schools… and then there are places where you walk in and immediately feel like this is what education should be.
This specialist setting in Kingston supports children and young people with Autism, profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), SLD, and complex medical needs. But the story here isn’t about what the children can’t do — it’s about what they’re learning to do every single day, with the right support.
And that’s where you come in.
The Role
You’ll be working in a small class (never more than 8 pupils), supported by a strong team of teaching assistants and an inspiring teacher who will guide you. These children may be non-verbal, use wheelchairs, or have behaviours that challenge — but they also laugh, communicate in their own way, and flourish in the right environment.
You’ll support students with everything from sensory integration and communication to personal care and hydrotherapy sessions. One day might involve messy play and sensory stories, the next might be quiet and calm. No two days are the same, and that’s what makes it extraordinary.
Is This You?
You’re patient, kind, and calm — especially when things don’t go to plan
You have experience with SEN or personal exposure to children with additional needs
You’re open to supporting with personal care (training provided) and hydrotherapy sessions
You understand that behaviours are communication
You’re available full-time during term time (8:30am–4:00pm)
This could be ideal for aspiring speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, or educational psychologists. Or maybe you're just someone who’s realised that supporting children with complex needs is what you’re meant to do.
What You’ll Get:
Weekly pay via PAYE – we don’t use umbrella companies
Unmatched on-the-job training, CPD, and long-term career opportunities
An incredibly supportive team and senior leadership who genuinely care
The chance to be part of something truly life-changing, every single day
If you're looking for a role that challenges you, inspires you, and gives back more than it takes — this is it.
Apply now to speak to Heeji at Parker Smith Inclusion. We’re ethical SEN recruitment specialists, and we are here to guide you every step of the way.
SEN Teaching Assistant
Merton
South West London
£85 - £95 PAYE per day - weekly payment
SEN Teaching Assistant – Clapham Junction Area
Full-Time | Long-Term to Permanent | £85–£95 per day (PAYE only)
ASAP Start
Some schools just feel different.
From the moment you walk in, you can sense the calm, not because it’s quiet, but because it’s purposeful. Staff move with intention. Children smile more. And even when the day is tough (because working in SEND isn’t easy), there’s this unspoken understanding that everyone here matters.
This is one of those schools. A truly specialist setting just a short journey from Clapham Junction, where children with Autism, severe learning difficulties, and complex needs come not just to learn, but to thrive, with your help.
What You’ll Do
You’ll work alongside skilled teachers and therapists, supporting students in the classroom, sensory rooms, 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 open to personal care and sensory support (training provided)
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
Ready to join a school that gets it right?
I would love to speak to you. Apply today and let’s talk about how this could be the start of something brilliant.
