Are you passionate about supporting children to reach their potential? A welcoming primary school in Epping Forest is looking for LSAs, TAs, Learning Mentors, Support Workers, or Healthcare Assistants to join their SEN provision team.
You don’t need previous school experience – we value support workers, youth workers, healthcare assistants, or anyone with personal experience supporting children or young people. Your dedication, patience, and positive approach are what matter most.
You’ll work alongside the SENCo and teaching staff to provide practical, emotional, and educational support for children with a variety of additional needs. Every day is different, and no two children are the same, making this role both rewarding and dynamic.

Patient, flexible, and positive approach.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
Genuine passion for helping children with additional needs.
