SEND Teaching Assistant – Year 4 1:1 Support
Location: Beckenham, United Kingdom
Start date: 12 October 2026
Salary: £90–£105 per day, depending on qualifications and experience
Hours: Term time only
About the role
Transparency Education is seeking an experienced SEND Teaching Assistant to support an academically able Year 4 pupil who is particularly strong in maths.
The pupil engages well with learning when emotionally regulated but needs consistent support with emotional regulation and behaviour. During dysregulation, behaviours may include climbing, hiding, throwing objects, vocalising and attempting to leave the classroom.
This rewarding role suits a calm, resilient professional who understands behaviour as communication and can balance compassionate support with clear boundaries.
Key responsibilities
- Build a trusting relationship and recognise triggers and early signs of escalation.
- Use regulation and de-escalation strategies, responding confidently to behaviour that may present a safety risk.
- Support academic progress and engagement, building on the pupil’s strengths.
- Work closely with the class teacher and SEND team to maintain a consistent approach.
