SEN Teaching Assistant

Location: West Barnes

We are working with one of London's most celebrated specialist schools — an outstanding independent day school in Wimbledon supporting pupils aged 5–18 with speech, language and communication difficulties. Rated outstanding by Ofsted, this is a vibrant, truly positive place where a multidisciplinary team of teachers, speech and language therapists and support staff work together every day with one goal — to help every child blossom and fulfil their potential.
You'll be joining a school where self-esteem and confidence sit at the heart of everything, and where your support will help young people find their voice, build resilience and take pride in who they are.
What You'll Be Doing

Providing 1:1 and small group support to pupils with speech, language and communication needs
Working alongside Speech and Language Therapists to reinforce therapy goals in the classroom
Supporting pupils to build confidence, independence and functional communication skills
Helping create a nurturing, person-centred environment where every pupil feels valued
Supporting pupils across a wide age range from primary through to sixth form

What We're Looking For

Experience supporting children or young people with SEND or communication needs
A warm, patient and holistic approach — this school values the whole child
Genuine belief that every young person can grow and thrive with the right support
A collaborative team player who models kindness and positivity every day
Knowledge of AAC, Makaton or Zones of Regulation is a bonus but not essential
