Start Date: 8 September 2026

Teach Now is looking for an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant (ASD) to join a supportive primary setting in Camden from September. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who understands that successful SEN support is about more than completing tasks - it is about building trust, creating consistency and helping pupils become confident, independent learners.

As an SEN Teaching Assistant (ASD), you will work closely with pupils across EYFS, KS1 or KS2 who require additional support with communication, learning, sensory regulation and social interaction.

The role will include:

• Supporting emotional and sensory regulation
• Adapting classroom activities alongside the class teacher and SENCO
• Encouraging independence, confidence and positive peer relationships

We are looking for:

• Previous experience supporting children with ASD/autism in a school or specialist setting
• A calm, patient and consistent approach
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Good understanding of safeguarding and SEND practice
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to complete one
• Right to work in the UK

This SEN Teaching Assistant (ASD) role would suit an experienced TA who wants a long-term position where they can become an important part of a child's school experience.
