Job Description

About the role

We're recruiting a SEND Teaching Assistant to join a secondary school's SEND team in Camberwell, South London. This is a varied and rewarding role that will shape your career in education whilst making a tangible difference to young people with complex needs.

As a Teaching Assistant specialising in SEND, you'll work at the heart of the school's special needs provision, delivering targeted support across multiple year groups and settings. You'll be part of a dedicated SEND team, working collaboratively to remove barriers to learning and enable young people to succeed.

Your role as a SEND TA will include:

  * Delivering one-to-one and small-group interventions for pupils with complex needs

  * Co-delivering specialist programmes supporting communication, language and learning

  * Supporting pupils' integration into mainstream classroom settings

  * Building relationships and trust with young people who've experienced educational barriers

  * Contributing to assessment and progress tracking that drives pupil outcomes

  * Supporting behaviour strategies and safeguarding frameworks

  * Working flexibly across different settings (classroom, intervention spaces, off-site provision)

  * Adapting resources and strategies to meet individual learning profiles

  * Collaborating with external agencies and specialists

  * Attending multi-agency meetings and contributing to planning

The role is genuinely varied: no two days are the same. You might deliver a literacy intervention in the morning, support a pupil's transition to a new class, join a behaviour meeting, work one-to-one with a young person on communication skills, facilitate a social story exercise, or support a complex learner accessing mainstream lessons. You'll see real impact - young people building confidence, developing independence, and accessing learning they previously couldn't access.

About you

You're a graduate ready to launch a meaningful career in SEND education, or you may be a qualified teacher looking to move into SEND. You'll need:

  * A bachelor's degree (any discipline)

  * Real commitment to enabling pupils with complex needs to reach their potential

  * Strong communication and collaborative working skills

  * Genuine interest in understanding neurodiversity and complex learning

  * Reliability and a solution-focused approach

Your career

This is a stepping stone into SEND specialism. Working within a secondary school SEND team gives you exposure to assessment, intervention design, and multi-agency working. Many TAs progress to SENCO qualifications, specialist support roles, or trained higher-level positions. You'll develop deep expertise in supporting teenagers with profound and complex needs.

What we offer

  * Secondary school with a strong SEND provision in South London

  * Full-time permanent contract

  * Supportive, collaborative team environment

  * Clear pathway for career development and further training

  * Competitive daily rate for a Teaching Assistant in Inner London
