Transparency Education is looking for a caring SEND Teaching Assistant to support a Year 4 pupil at a welcoming primary school in Bromley.
The pupil is pre-verbal and autistic, working at Reception level through an individualised curriculum delivered mainly outside the classroom. This role would suit someone who enjoys building trust, recognising small steps of progress and adapting learning around a child’s communication and developmental needs.
About the role
As a SEND Teaching Assistant, you will:
- Provide consistent one-to-one support, helping the pupil feel secure, understood and ready to learn.
- Deliver practical, engaging activities linked to his individualised curriculum, under the teacher’s guidance.
- Support communication using strategies recommended by a speech and language therapist.
- Encourage independence, engagement and positive routines, sharing observations with the school team.
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.
The pupil currently attends from 8:40am to 12:00pm, while your working hours will be 8:30am to 3:30pm. Behaviours that challenge, including physical aggression, are rare, and no personal care is required.
Who we’re looking for
- Experience supporting autistic children or pupils with SEND, ideally in a primary or Early Years setting.
- An understanding of communication needs and learning through play.
- A calm, patient approach and confidence adapting activities to a pupil’s developmental stage.
- A willingness to follow specialist guidance and work closely with colleagues.
- Availability to start promptly and commit to a long-term position.
Why this school?
This large, six-form-entry primary school combines spacious green grounds with a friendly, community-focused atmosphere. Its Forest School gives children opportunities to explore, build confidence and develop independence.
You’ll benefit from:
- A rewarding opportunity to build a meaningful relationship with one pupil.
- Speech and language therapist guidance to inform your support.
- A welcoming school community and collaborative working environment.
- Extensive outdoor space and a Forest School that enrich children’s learning.
