Job Description
1:1 SEN Teaching Assistant
About the role
Are you an enthusiastic and compassionate HLTA with a passion for supporting children with additional needs? We are seeking a dedicated 1:1 SEN Teaching Assistant to work part-time with a bright and sensitive Year 2 pupil in a welcoming primary school in Barnet.
This is a unique opportunity to support a student with ADHD, overwhelming anxiety, and PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance), who is currently undergoing a slow reintegration into school. Initially attending for just 40 minutes per day, the aim is to gradually increase this to 2.5 days a week – Tuesdays, Thursdays, and one flexible afternoon.
The school is looking for someone to prioritise building a trusting, positive relationship, with social and emotional connection taking precedence over academic demands.
The student
*
Is academically advanced, performing at Year 5 level in maths
*
Enjoys physical activity, especially dodgeball and Lego
*
Communicates well verbally but is reluctant to engage in written work
*
Responds best to non-directive, calm, and empathetic support
You must be/have
*
HLTA qualified (or a confident graduate with strong SEN experience)
*
A patient, adaptable, and nurturing approach
*
Understanding of demand avoidance and anxiety-related behaviours
*
Able to motivate through play, creativity, and movement
*
Comfortable with slow, relationship-focused transitions
*
Skilled in creating a calm, predictable and emotionally secure environment
*
A genuine belief in putting the child first, with work coming later
