SEN Teaching Assistant – 1:1
Location: Walthamstow & Surrounding Areas

About the Role

Looking for your next opportunity as an SEN Teaching Assistant in Walthamstow?

It's a particularly busy time for us at Destination Education, and we are currently working with a range of welcoming and supportive mainstream primary schools across Walthamstow and the surrounding areas. We are expecting a variety of exciting SEN Teaching Assistant opportunities to become available, with schools looking for passionate and reliable support staff.

We are working on full-time, part-time, and supply opportunities, with roles involving 1:1 SEN support, small-group intervention, and wider classroom support. Whether you're looking for something full-time, need a part-time position, or want the flexibility of supply, we'd love to hear from you.

Supply can also be a great way to get yourself something fixed. It gives you the opportunity to experience different schools, build relationships with staff and pupils, and potentially find a school that is the right fit for you and move into a longer-term or permanent position.

• Adapt activities and resources to meet individual needs.
• Encourage independence, confidence, and positive behaviour.
• Build strong and trusting relationships with pupils.
• Work closely with the class teacher, SENCo, and wider support team.

The Ideal Candidate

• Previous experience working with children is desirable.
• Experience supporting pupils with SEN is advantageous.
• Experience providing 1:1 support would be beneficial.
• A patient, caring, and resilient approach.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to build positive and trusting relationships with pupils.
• Reliable, adaptable, and enthusiastic about working in education.
• A genuine passion for supporting children and helping them overcome barriers to learning.
