Enrich Education Recruitment is working with a welcoming 3-form-entry primary school in Barnet seeking an SEN Teaching Assistant to provide 1:1 support for a Key Stage 1 pupil with autism and speech and language needs.

The pupil benefits from clear routines, visual support and an adult who can break learning into manageable steps while encouraging communication and independence.

This is an excellent opportunity for an SEN Teaching Assistant or Learning Support Assistant looking to join a well-supported school for the academic year.

• Provide dedicated 1:1 support throughout the school day
• Support communication and language development
• Use visual resources and clear routines
• Break classroom activities into manageable steps
• Support transitions between activities
• Encourage interaction with peers
• Help with emotional and sensory regulation
• Deliver targeted literacy and communication activities
• Promote confidence and independence

• Experience supporting children with ASD or SEN
• Confidence providing 1:1 support
• A calm, patient and consistent approach
• Good communication skills
• The ability to adapt activities and instructions
• A reliable and professional attitude
• Availability for a full-time, long-term position

Experience with PECS, visual timetables, now-and-next boards, speech and language interventions or sensory strategies would be particularly useful.

This is a friendly 3-form-entry primary school with an established SEN team and experienced Teaching Assistants across the year groups.

Staff work collaboratively and Teaching Assistants are well supported by class teachers and the SENCO. The larger year-group structure means you'll have other teachers and support staff around you, rather than working in isolation.

The school has good transport links and is easily accessible from Finchley, Hendon, Mill Hill, Edgware and surrounding North London areas.

Enrich Education Recruitment is committed to safeguarding children. All successful applicants will be subject to relevant compliance checks, including an Enhanced DBS, right-to-work checks and satisfactory references.
