Primary School SEN Teaching Assistant

We're looking for a caring, enthusiastic, and dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming Primary School in Harlow. This is a fantastic opportunity to become an integral part of a supportive school community where no two days are the same and every day brings the chance to positively impact a child's educational journey.

Whether you already have experience supporting children with additional needs or you're looking to transfer your skills from a care, support, youth work, or childcare background, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Providing one-to-one and small group support to pupils with additional learning needs.

• Passionate about supporting children and young people.
• Patient, compassionate, and resilient.
• Confident working as part of a team.
• Able to build positive relationships with pupils, staff, and parents.
