Job Description
1:1 SEN Teaching Assistant
About the school
We’re looking for a dedicated 1:1 SEN teaching assistant to join a warm and inclusive primary school in Finchley, Barnet this September. The school is a thriving, community-focused setting that prides itself on its nurturing ethos, dedicated staff team, and commitment to supporting every child to reach their potential. With excellent facilities, a strong leadership team, and a caring environment, this is a place where both pupils and staff thrive. Staff describe the school as friendly, supportive and “like a second family.”
The role
This full-time role involves working closely with a child who is joining reception in September. The pupil has high needs, including autism, is non-verbal, and requires assistance with personal care. We’re ideally seeking someone who has experience in early years settings and a strong understanding of autism and sensory needs.
Key responsibilities
• Provide 1:1 support to a reception child with complex SEN needs
• Assist with communication strategies, sensory activities and emotional regulation
• Support with personal care needs throughout the day
• Collaborate closely with the class teacher and SENCO to deliver tailored support
Ideal candidate
• Experience working with children with autism, ideally in an early years setting
• Understanding of non-verbal communication techniques (e.g. PECS or Makaton)
• Empathetic, reliable, and committed to inclusive education
• Comfortable providing personal care support
If you're ready to make a meaningful difference in a child’s life while working in a school that truly values its staff, we’d love to hear from you.
