SEN Specialist Teaching Assistant: Harrow
Outstanding school
Full-time position
Start ASAP
Role Information
An outstanding SEN school in Harrow is seeking an experienced and approachable SEN Teaching Assistant for a position starting as soon as possible, working with Autistic pupils.
For this position, you will need to be an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant who has worked with pupils who either have Severe Learning Difficulties or who are on the autistic spectrum.
- Responsibilities:
- Work mainly with Key Stage 2 pupils who all have a diagnosis of autism and have significant delays in their academic and social abilities.
- Many of these students have limited communication skills and as a result, experience working with students who have speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN) would be advantageous.
- This lovely Harrow SEN school uses PECS and Makaton in class to support the students' communication development.
- Work in a class of 8 pupils alongside another experienced SEN TA and a specialist SEN Teacher.
- The children are lovely, very well behaved, and enjoy school. However, you will need to be able to work under your own initiative, have emotional intelligence, be mindful of your tone of voice/choice of words, and body language, have good concentration levels, the ability to multitask, and bring energy and enthusiasm to the job.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Requirements:
- Good ASD knowledge.
- Some experience of PECS and Makaton.
- The key to the job is attitude, and the school are very willing to train someone who shows passion and a willingness to get stuck in.
Please note that personal care (feeding and changing) is a part of the job, and applicants who wouldn't be prepared to undertake these tasks after training will not be considered for the post.
