About the Role
We're looking for a Teaching Assistant to join a vibrant mainstream secondary school in Merton this October. This is a full-time role, starting on a temporary basis, with the opportunity to move into a permanent position for the right person.
The role focuses on supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). You'll work in the classroom, with small groups, and on a 1:1 basis, providing structure, encouragement, and guidance. More than academic support, this position calls for someone who can be a strong role model, helping students develop resilience, discipline, and confidence.
This is an excellent opportunity for a graduate or an individual with limited school experience who is looking to gain hands-on classroom practice in a supportive environment.
Your Day-to-Day
Supporting students with SEN during lessons and structured activities
Providing focused 1:1 mentoring and small group support
Encouraging positive behaviour and helping students stay on track
Building strong, professional relationships that earn respect and trust
Assisting teachers in creating a supportive, disciplined classroom environment
What We're Looking For
A degree (preferred, but not essential)
Experience working with young people - ideally with SEN (though training will be provided)
Confidence, resilience, and the ability to lead by example
Strong communication and interpersonal skills
A genuine interest in helping students overcome challenges and succeed
What's in It for You
Consistent school hours (8am-4pm, Monday to Friday)
Hands-on experience supporting students in a mainstream secondary school
The chance to be a mentor and positive influence on young people who need guidance
A supportive team culture with clear opportunities for growth and progression
