SEN Teaching Assistant – ASD Specialist School – Lewisham
September Start | Full-Time | Temp to Perm Opportunity
Are you someone who does not panic when things get challenging?
Do you have the patience, resilience and personality to support young people with Autism and complex needs?
Remedy Education are working with a specialist SEN school in Lewisham who are looking for strong, reliable and committed SEN Teaching Assistants to join them from September.
This is not a basic classroom support role. You will be helping children and young people with ASD, complex needs, communication difficulties and challenging behaviour develop the skills they need for everyday life. The right person will be calm under pressure, emotionally resilient and genuinely passionate about making a difference.
The role will involve:
- Supporting pupils with Autism and complex SEN needs on a 1:1 and small group basis
- Helping pupils build confidence, independence and life skills
- Supporting behaviour management in a calm and consistent way
- Assisting with personal care where required
- Helping pupils regulate emotions and engage with learning
- Working closely with teachers, therapists and support staff
- Supporting pupils who may display physical or challenging behaviour
- Creating a safe, structured and positive environment
The school is particularly interested in people with backgrounds such as:
- Residential support workers for children or young people with SEN
- Support workers specialising in Autism, learning difficulties or complex needs
- SEN Teaching Assistants with direct ASD experience
- Youth workers, behaviour mentors or care workers with SEN experience
- Graduates with a degree linked to Special Educational Needs, Psychology, Education, Childhood Studies or similar
This role would suit someone who is strong-minded, patient, reliable and not easily shaken. The pupils can have difficult days, but the impact you can have is massive. You will be helping young people build routines, confidence, communication skills and independence for later life.
