SEND Teaching Assistant | Sutton
Are you energetic, enthusiastic, and confident working with young children? Would you love a role where no two days are the same, and you can make a real difference to a child’s early learning?
We are looking for a lively, proactive, and quick-thinking Learning Support Assistant to support a pupil in Year 2 who is presenting traits of ADHD.
You’ll be tasked with providing consistent reassurance, smooth transitions, and helping the pupil to stay regulated during the day. You will also provide general support in class, helping to keep the busy classroom running smoothly, and supporting children with their learning and social development.
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.
This role will suit someone who is naturally upbeat, emotionally attuned, and able to read the room in the moment. You must be able to switch tasks quickly, stay calm under pressure, and bring warmth and humour into the classroom.
What the school can offer you:
- Full-time, term-time role: 8:00am – 3:30pm
- Hands-on experience in a dynamic and fast-paced Year 2 classroom
- Support from an experienced class teacher and SENCo
- Fantastic preparation for Teacher Training, Educational Psychology, or a SEND career
Person Specification:
- Degree in Psychology, Education, or a related subject (desirable)
- Confidence, resilience, and the ability to adapt quickly in a busy setting
- Strong communication skills and a natural rapport with young children
- A genuine passion for early years, behaviour, and child development
- Previous experience with children (desirable, but not essential)
