Teaching Assistant - Primary SEND

Hampton, TW12
Full-time | Term time only | 5 days per week
Long-term role until the end of the academic year

We're working with a friendly, nurturing Primary SEND school in Hampton (TW12) looking for a Teaching Assistant to join them on a long-term basis, supporting a small class of 9 pupils (majority are boys) with complex needs.

This is a genuinely lovely school with a strong focus on play-led learning, outdoor education and forest school, so it would suit someone who enjoys being hands-on, creative and active throughout the day.

About the role

Supporting a small class of Y2 / Y3 pupils (majority boys)

Pupils have complex SEND, including communication and regulation needs

Supporting with personal care

Some pupils may display challenging behaviour, so calm and consistent support is key

Working closely with the class teacher and wider SEND team

Using play, outdoor learning and structured routines to support engagement

The school is looking for someone who is:

Patient, calm and steady

Consistent and reliable - the children benefit hugely from continuity

Fun and engaging, but able to hold clear boundaries

Genuinely interested in working in SEND

Comfortable being outdoors and involved in active learning

Experience & training

Previous SEND experience is highly desirable

Team-Teach training would be a big advantage (or willingness to train)

Backgrounds in SEND, care, EYFS, youth work or support work would suit this role well

Practical bits

Long-term placement until the end of the academic year

Monday to Friday, term time only

All candidates will need to complete full vetting, including:

Enhanced DBS check

Two professional references

If you're looking for a rewarding long-term role in a warm, supportive SEND school, where no two days are the same and outdoor learning is a big part of the day, this could be a great fit.
