Job Description
SEN Teaching Assistant
Are you a nurturing, patient and emotionally intelligent professional looking to make a lasting difference in the lives of children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs? If so, Teach Now is working with a highly inclusive and compassionate primary school in Enfield seeking a full-time SEN Teaching Assistant with expertise in SEMH to join their team from September 2025.
This isn’t just a job—it’s a purpose. You’ll be joining a school that believes emotional wellbeing is the foundation of learning. The leadership team has embedded a whole-school trauma-informed approach and prioritises staff and pupil mental health as central to success. The school boasts dedicated wellbeing spaces, strong pastoral systems, and a team of professionals working together to create a safe, consistent and positive environment for every child.
About the Role
You will work one-to-one and in small groups with pupils across Key Stage 1 and 2 who experience emotional or behavioural difficulties that act as barriers to their learning. Whether it’s supporting with emotional regulation, building social skills, or helping children re-engage with learning, your work will be life-changing.
Why This Role Stands Out
• A deeply supportive school culture with staff wellbeing at its core
• Regular access to training in mental health awareness, attachment theory, and de-escalation techniques
• A hands-on SENCO and pastoral team who work closely with TAs
• Opportunities to work with external agencies such as CAMHS, Educational Psychologists, and Speech & Language Therapists
• Progression pathways into pastoral leadership, behaviour mentoring or SEN specialisms
What We’re Looking For
• Experience working with children or young people with SEMH needs
• A calm, resilient personality with a genuine passion for mental health and inclusion
• Ability to de-escalate challenging situations and build trust-based relationships
• Relevant qualifications or training in mental health or SEN are a plus—but your commitment and emotional intelligence are what truly count
Why Work via Teach Now?

• Ensure that you will have your own dedicated consultant who will provide ongoing support and guidance
• Offer an excellent ‘refer a friend’ scheme that pays you £150 for each candidate you refer to us after they have worked and been paid for their first 10 days
• Pay in line with the Agency Worker Regulations (AWR) meaning you will be paid equally to a permanent employee
• Give you access to a wide range of CPD training through our in-house team of experienced senior leaders
