About the Role:
We are recruiting two full-time SEN Teaching Assistants on behalf of a vibrant and welcoming two-form entry primary school in Haringey.
The school is looking for flexible, adaptable, and confident individuals who are willing to support pupils across Key Stage 2 rather than working exclusively within one year group. This is a varied and rewarding role that may involve providing 1:1 support, assisting within the whole classroom, and delivering targeted interventions during the afternoon.
Pupils may have a range of emotional, behavioural, and learning needs, including difficulties with emotional regulation and defiant behaviour. The successful candidates will be academic, confident in supporting the KS2 curriculum, and able to establish firm but fair boundaries.
The school values the individual strengths and personal qualities of its staff. Where a Teaching Assistant has particular expertise or excels in a specific area, the leadership team will aim to place them with pupils who will benefit most from those skills.
With a supportive senior leadership team, committed staff, and a strong local community, this is a wonderful opportunity to develop your experience and grow your career in education.

• Providing 1:1 support to pupils with SEN, emotional, behavioural, and learning needs
• Supporting pupils across different year groups within Key Stage 2
• Assisting teachers with whole-class learning and differentiated activities
• Delivering small-group interventions, including phonics support
• Supporting pupils with emotional regulation and challenging or defiant behaviour
• Establishing clear routines, expectations, and boundaries
• Promoting positive behaviour through a firm, fair, and consistent approach
• Adapting support according to individual pupils strengths and needs
• Monitoring and recording pupils progress, behaviour, and engagement
• Working collaboratively with class teachers, the SENCO, support staff, and senior leaders

• Experience supporting primary-aged pupils, preferably within Key Stage 2

• Strong behaviour-management skills and the ability to set clear boundaries
• A flexible and adaptable approach, with a willingness to work across different year groups
• A positive personality and the confidence to take initiative
• A clear commitment to safeguarding and pupil wellbeing
• The right to work in the UK
Our Client Can Offer You:
• A welcoming and inclusive school community
