SEN Teaching Assistant
1 to 1 (Autism/non verbal)
Full-time
Starting 22nd April to end academic year
Wandsworth
A lovely primary school in Wandsworth is looking for a dedicated learning support assistant to join them after Easter to support a pupil with ASD.
The role
In this role, you will be working on a 1:1 basis with a pupil in year 2 with autism and communication needs. Within the classroom, the child requires support to focus on tasks and communicate with others. Your role will include supporting the child during carpet sessions in learning activities in the class, as well as some individual intervention sessions outside the classroom. Interventions will be based on communication, language, literacy, and social skills.
The school is looking for a teaching assistant who is confident to work with a young child with autism. The child can display some challenging behaviour and at times will leave the classroom, so requires a teaching assistant who is fit and active. You should have a calm and consistent approach and be able to commit to a full-time position for the rest of the academic year.
The school
This friendly and welcoming primary school is rated good by Ofsted and has high expectations of both staff and children. There is a culture of respect and honesty with a drive for pupils to become independent and responsible learners. The school is close to Tooting Broadway underground station with excellent transport links and benefits from modern and well-equipped indoor and outdoor learning spaces.
If this position is of interest, please apply with an up-to-date CV outlining your training and experience.
