SEN Teaching Assistant (ASD Specialist)
Are you an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant with a passion for supporting pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a caring and inclusive primary school in Harrow, where additional needs provision is a core strength and staff are genuinely valued.
The school has a strong reputation within the local authority for its inclusive approach, calm learning environment, and commitment to meeting the needs of every child. You will be part of a supportive team that works closely with class teachers, SENCOs, therapists, and families to ensure pupils with ASD feel safe, understood, and empowered to succeed both academically and socially.
This role is ideal for a qualified SEN Teaching Assistant with proven experience supporting children with ASD across Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2. You may work one -to -one or with small groups, helping pupils access the curriculum, develop communication skills, manage sensory needs, and build independence. A patient, consistent, and empathetic approach is essential, as is confidence in using strategies such as visual supports, structured routines, and positive behaviour reinforcement.
Why this role stands out:
• A full -time, term -time -only position, supporting work -life balance
• Competitive daily rate of £85–£100, depending on experience
• Opportunity to work in a school with a strong SEN ethos and experienced leadership
• Collaborative staff culture with clear guidance and ongoing support
• Excellent location in Harrow with good transport links
This role would suit someone with a relevant SEN qualification (such as a Level 2 or 3 Supporting Teaching and Learning, or equivalent) and hands -on experience working with ASD students in a primary setting.
If you are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of children with additional needs and are looking for a rewarding role in a supportive school, we would love to hear from you.
