SEN Teaching Assistant – Full-Time

Location: Walthamstow & Surrounding Areas

About the Role

Looking for your next opportunity as an SEN Teaching Assistant in Walthamstow? Destination Education is currently working with a range of welcoming and supportive mainstream primary schools across Walthamstow and the surrounding areas, and we are expecting a variety of exciting SEN Teaching Assistant opportunities to become available.

We are particularly looking for Teaching Assistants interested in full-time positions, supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs within mainstream primary school settings. These roles can involve dedicated 1:1 support, small-group work, and working alongside the class teacher to help pupils access learning and make progress.

We also work on full-time, part-time, and supply opportunities, so if you're open to other options, we'd still love to hear from you. Supply can be a great way to get yourself something fixed, allowing you to experience different schools, build relationships, and potentially move into a longer-term or permanent position.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide dedicated 1:1 and small-group support to pupils with SEN.
  • Help pupils access the curriculum and participate fully in classroom activities.
  • Support pupils with their academic, social, emotional, and behavioural development.
  • Adapt activities and resources to meet individual needs.
  • Encourage independence, confidence, and positive behaviour.
  • Build strong and trusting relationships with pupils.
  • Work closely with the class teacher, SENCo, and wider support team.
  • Monitor progress and provide feedback to teaching staff.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Previous experience working with children is desirable.
  • Experience supporting pupils with SEN is advantageous.
  • Experience providing 1:1 support would be beneficial.
  • A patient, caring, and resilient approach.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to build positive and trusting relationships with pupils.
  • Reliable, adaptable, and enthusiastic about working in education.
  • A genuine passion for supporting children and helping them overcome barriers to learning.

What Destination Education Offers

  • A dedicated consultant who takes the time to understand your experience and what you're looking for.
  • Full-time, part-time, and supply opportunities.

  • 1:1 SEN and wider SEN Teaching Assistant positions.
  • Day-to-day, short-term, and longer-term supply opportunities.
  • Opportunities for supply work to lead into a fixed, long-term, or permanent position.
  • Early access to upcoming vacancies we are expecting to receive.
  • Consistent support throughout the recruitment process.
