SEN TA – Abbey Wood – Multiple Roles in London

A forward-thinking secondary school in Abbey Wood (SE2) is seeking confident and proactive SEN TAs to join the team from February half term. Following the appointment of a committed new Headteacher who has previously spent many years at the school, the school is on a clear journey of improving attainment, culture, and outcomes for pupils.

• Helping pupils regulate behaviour, remain engaged, and access learning effectively
• Working closely with teachers, the SENCo, and pastoral staff to support EHCPs and individual plans
