Job description

SEN Teaching Assistant – Autism Specialist School (Greenwich)

£100–£120 per day | Full-Time | Long-Term | Immediate Start

Are you passionate about supporting children with Autism (ASC) and complex needs?
Do you want a stable, long-term role in a specialist SEN environment where your work genuinely changes lives?

GSL Education are recruiting SEN Teaching Assistants to work in a highly supportive Autism-specific SEN school in Greenwich, supporting pupils across primary and secondary ages with Autism, sensory needs, communication difficulties and associated learning needs.

This is a full-time, long-term opportunity with strong leadership, excellent staff support, and the potential to move into a permanent position.

The Role

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you will:

  • Provide 1:1 and small-group support to pupils with Autism (ASC)

  • Support students with sensory regulation, routines and engagement

  • Assist with communication strategies (PECS, visual timetables, Makaton)

  • Work closely with teachers, therapists and SEN staff

  • Support learning, behaviour and emotional regulation throughout the school day

  • Help create a safe, structured and calm learning environment

The Ideal Candidate

We are keen to hear from candidates who:

  • Have experience in SEN, autism, education, care, youth work or support work

  • Are calm, patient, resilient and consistent

  • Can commit Monday to Friday, full-time

  • Are reliable and passionate about working with children with additional needs

  • Are looking for a long-term role, not day-to-day supply

School-based experience is beneficial but not essential — training and support will be provided.

Why Apply?

  • £100–£120 per day (depending on experience)

  • Long-term stability in one setting

  • Supportive SEN leadership team

  • Opportunity to move permanent

  • Excellent experience for those pursuing psychology, teaching, SEN or therapy careers

  • Immediate interviews & fast starts
