A welcoming primary setting in Morden is looking for a dedicated SEND Teaching Assistant to provide one-to-one support for a 7-year-old pupil with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC).
There is no personal care involved, but you must feel confident supporting a young child who benefits from structure, reassurance, and a calm, steady presence throughout the school day.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building meaningful relationships and understands that children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported.
About The Role
You will work closely with one pupil across lessons, transitions, outdoor learning, and social times. Your focus will be helping them access learning, communicate effectively, manage emotions, and develop confidence in daily routines. You'll work alongside the class teacher and SENDCo to ensure support is consistent, personalised, and encouraging.
Daily Responsibilities
- Provide reliable, nurturing 1:1 support
- Build a warm, trusting relationship with the pupil
- Support learning in class, outdoors, and during creative activities
- Encourage communication, independence, and positive peer interaction
- Help with routines, transitions, and emotional regulation
- Follow strategies outlined in the pupil's support plan
- Share observations with teachers and the SENDCo
- Contribute to a calm, inclusive learning environment
