Job description
We are looking for an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant in Feltham!
SEN Teaching Assistant – Specialist Autism Provision
Location: Feltham | West London
Payrate: £100–£115 per day
Contract: Full-Time | Long-Term
Start: After Half Term
We are recruiting SEN Teaching Assistants for a well-established specialist Autism school in Feltham, supporting pupils aged 4–19 with Autism (ASC) and complex learning needs.
This is not a mainstream school with a small SEN unit — this is a fully specialist environment designed specifically for pupils who benefit from:
- Structured routines
- High staff-to-pupil ratios
- Communication-focused teaching
- Sensory-aware environments
- Personalised EHCP-led learning
The school has a strong reputation locally for its calm, nurturing atmosphere and highly supportive leadership team.
Why This School Stands Out
- Purpose-built classrooms and sensory spaces
- Clear communication strategies (visual timetables, structured approaches)
- Consistent behaviour framework
- Strong pastoral and therapy input
- Long-standing SEN-trained staff team
- Focus on independence, life skills and preparation for adulthood
Staff retention is strong because the school prioritises training, teamwork and realistic expectations.
The Role – SEN Teaching Assistant
You will:
- Support pupils on a 1:1 and small-group basis
- Assist children and young people with Autism and additional needs
- Support communication and emotional regulation
- Reinforce structured classroom routines
- Work closely with class teachers and specialist staff
- Help pupils develop independence and life skills
This is a hands-on, rewarding role where patience, consistency and relationship-building are key.
Ideal Candidates
We welcome:
- Experienced SEN Teaching Assistants
- Support Workers / Care Workers
- Autism support specialists
- Psychology, Education or Youth-related graduates
- Individuals seeking long-term SEN careers
Full-time commitment required. This is a long-term opportunity starting after half term.
How to Apply:
If you meet the requirements and are interested in this position, please send an updated CV with any gaps explained, along with a valid DBS registered to the Update Service and 2-3 professional references covering the past 2-3 years.
