Job Description - SEN Teaching Assistant



SEN Teaching Assistant – Year 4 (Medical Needs Support)


Are you a calm, attentive and compassionate Teaching Assistant looking for a truly meaningful role? A friendly and inclusive primary setting in Harrow is seeking a dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to provide full -time 1:1 support for a Year 4 pupil with medical needs starting in January.


The pupil is working at Year 3 level, is fully class -based, and presents no behavioural challenges. They are a pleasure to work with and enjoy being part of the school community. The key aspect of this role is supporting a child with Brittle Bone Disease, a rare condition that causes bones to fracture very easily. This means the successful candidate must be highly vigilant, proactive and safety -focused, ensuring the pupil can access learning confidently and securely throughout the school day.


Key Responsibilities


• Provide consistent 1:1 support in the classroom

• Maintain constant supervision to ensure the pupil’s safety

• Support learning alongside the class teacher and adapt tasks where needed

• Assist with transitions and movement around the school

• Supervise lunch in a separate, low -risk environment

• Follow medical and safeguarding protocols closely

• Offer a calm, reassuring presence that promotes confidence and inclusion


The Ideal Candidate Will


• Have experience supporting SEN and/or pupils with medical needs (desirable)

• Be exceptionally attentive, cautious and responsible

• Remain calm under pressure with strong safeguarding awareness

• Be patient, nurturing and reliable

• Work effectively as part of a wider school team


Why Apply?


• Competitive daily rate

• A rewarding opportunity to make a genuine impact

• Supportive staff team and inclusive ethos

• Long -term stability within a mainstream primary setting


If you’re passionate about ensuring every child can access education safely and successfully, this is an incredibly rewarding opportunity.
