Newham
Full-time, Term-time
£100 - 112 per week
Are you someone who lights up around children and believes every child deserves to thrive - no matter their starting point? We're looking for kind, reliable, and genuinely caring individuals to support bright and curious young children with autism in a nurturing SEN primary school in Tower Hamlets. This is your chance to become a pivotal part of their early journeys helping them grow in confidence, connection, and joy.
About the Role
As a Teaching Assistant in the early years classroom, you'll play an important role in supporting children with autism as they explore, learn, and grow. You'll help adapt learning activities to meet individual needs, encourage positive social interaction, and contribute to a classroom culture built on patience, understanding, and inclusion. This role may include supporting personal care routines, as some children may still be in the process of toilet training. You won't be alone; our team is full of experienced, understanding professionals who will support and guide you every step of the way.
What You'll Be Doing
- Giving personalised support throughout the school day
- Using creativity and patience to make learning fun and accessible
- Helping with communication, emotional regulation, and building friendships
- Working closely with the class teacher, SENCO, and family to ensure consistency
- Supporting personal care needs with dignity and kindness
What We're Looking For
- Experience with autism or additional needs is a bonus but heart and dedication matter most
- A calm, positive nature and willingness to learn
- Great communication skills and a team mindset
- Ability to follow EHCPs and behaviour support strategies
- A relevant qualification is helpful, but not essential
What You'll Gain
- A deeply rewarding role that changes lives one at a time
- A supportive school and recruitment team that truly cares
- Ongoing training and development in SEN, autism support, and early years education
- Real career progression in education or therapy-focused roles
If you believe every child deserves patience, presence, and possibility we'd love to hear from you. Apply now and be part of something truly meaningful.
