Supporting students. Shaping futures. One calm, kind moment at a time.
We’re looking for compassionate, confident SEN Teaching Assistants to join secondary schools across Barnet this September. If you’re the kind of person who instinctively knows when a student needs space, support, or just someone to sit alongside them—you’ll fit right in.
Whether you’ve worked in schools before or supported young people in other settings, your empathy and ability to build trust are what count.
What you'll be doing:
-
Providing tailored support to pupils with a range of needs (autism, SEMH, ADHD, and more)
-
Helping students feel safe, included, and ready to learn
-
Working 1:1 or in small groups, guided by the school’s SEN team
-
Collaborating with staff to adapt lessons and routines so every pupil can succeed
We’re looking for someone who:
-
Has experience with children or young people with SEND
-
Brings a calm, warm approach and good instincts
-
Feels confident supporting behaviour and emotional regulation in a busy secondary setting
-
(Bonus points if you’re Thrive trained—but if not, we’ll sort that for free)

-
Weekly pay through PAYE (no umbrella companies)
-
FREE Thrive and SEND CPD via our online Academy
-
A local consultant who knows their schools and has your back
