The SEN Teaching Assistant Roles:

Due to a planned expansion of a key client group of outstanding SEN Schools we have a very high number of SEN Teaching Assistant vacancies in North West London starting after Christmas as part of a new phase of recruitment planned for January. Due to the nature of this multi-school trust we are seeking both day-to-day and long-term options for SEN Teaching Assistant roles.

Due to the short lead-out time and the desire to secure that highest possible quality of staffing we are in urgent need of both experienced SEN Teaching Assistants and new trainees based in or near to North West London who have previous experience either as a Teaching Assistant in mainstream nurseries and primary schools or those who have worked as a Health Care Assistant.

If you are looking for reliable but flexible work or if you seek full-time employment, I can assure you that you'll be happy to be working in these friendly, supportive, OfSTED 'Outstanding' schools where staff are treated as assets and the personal and professional development of staff is considered a high priority.

This role will require feeding, changing and personal care, therefore a background in nursing and/or tube feeding would be useful, however the school create a very encouraging and helpful environment and are willing to offer any training.

This is an incredibly rewarding role with the results apparent and in front of you every day as you see each child gradually grow and push themselves.
