Are you passionate about supporting young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to thrive in a secondary school setting? A welcoming and inclusive secondary school in Harrow is seeking a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join their team on a full-time, temporary basis from March 2026.

• Support learning across a range of subjects in the classroom

• Help students manage routines, transitions and emotional regulation

• Work closely with teachers, SENCOs and pastoral staff to implement support strategies

• Adapt resources and approaches to meet individual learning needs

• Is calm, patient and empathetic, with excellent communication skills

• Can build strong, trusting relationships with young people

• Is proactive, reliable and committed to safeguarding

• Is passionate about inclusion and supporting every learner to succeed

• Experience in a secondary school environment is desirable, but not essential—what matters most is your dedication and willingness to learn.

• Competitive daily rate of £90–£100

• Full-time, term-time hours for a healthy work–life balance

• Supportive leadership and a strong SEN department

• Opportunity to gain valuable experience in secondary SEND education
