  • SEN teaching assistant - Amazing school in Hammersmith and Fulham
    Primary school in Westminster • Full Time
    16 Oct - Dec 20
    Teaching Assistant Role Summary The teaching assistant will support a Year 2 child with an EHCP (Education, Health, and Care Plan) due to a diagnosis of ADHD. The role requires an individual who can be patient, calm, and adaptable in helping the child adjust to their new environment while also collaborating effectively with teachers and support staff. Key Responsibilities: Behavioural Support: Implement strategies tailored to the child’s ADHD and trauma background, balancing a firm but kind approach. Engage the child in structured activities (e.g., snacks, drawing, counting) to refocus their attention and manage outbursts or boundary-testing behaviour. Redirect behaviour through playful strategies and maintain a positive and encouraging atmosphere while setting clear expectations. Collaboration and Teamwork: Work closely with the SENCO and class teacher to create and follow an effective behaviour plan. Be part of a larger team effort, coordinating with the other adults in the classroom to ensure cohesive support. Liaise with professionals from the child’s previous school, especially regarding past strategies and any insights they can provide on managing the child's behaviour. Familiarisation and Adaptation: Spend time reading and familiarising yourself with the child’s EHCP before starting the role, and continue learning about the child’s preferences and triggers through observation and interaction. Help the child transition smoothly by building a trusting relationship and offering consistent, calm support. Adjust to the child’s unique needs and assist them in developing a routine, guiding them through their new classroom environment. Emotional and Professional Support: Maintain open lines of communication with school leadership (e.g., regular check-ins) to report progress or challenges, ensuring the TA has sufficient support. Attend ongoing training and professional development to stay informed about techniques for working with children with ADHD and trauma. Have the emotional resilience to manage any overwhelming moments, as the child’s adjustment to the new environment is expected to take time. Expectations and Commitment: The role requires flexibility and patience as the child is expected to test boundaries initially. It is important to remain consistent yet compassionate in guiding them. The position is planned until December, with the possibility of extension depending on the child’s progress and fit within the classroom environment. Requirements: - Relevant experience working with children with ADHD or similar special educational needs. - A calm and patient demeanour, able to handle challenging behaviour with compassion. - Strong communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with teachers and support staff. - Knowledge of behaviour management strategies and techniques for children with ADHD. - A commitment to professional development and ongoing training. Zen Educate offers teaching staff a unique opportunity to find the right role while focusing on work-life balance, better pay, and hands-on support. Join us in making a difference in the lives of children and educators alike.…

FAQ

Signing up

I’m having trouble registering

If the online sign up isn’t working as it should for you then you can email your CV and a short description of what you’re looking for to our team at teachwithus@zeneducate.com and we’ll be in touch.

How do I interview? Do I have to come to your office?

To make sure you’re getting bookings perfect for you, we will invite you to a 30-minute online interview with our team to learn about your experience, preferences and why you’re passionate about working in education. You can do this through any smartphone or computer. If you’d prefer to interview in person at our office, just let us know.

If you’re not ready to find another role, or, you’re definitely still welcome to sign up. Registering with us and letting us know what you’re looking for will help us to get in touch with you about roles you may be interested in!

I only have overseas experience. Is that OK?

Generally schools prefer teachers and TAs who are familiar with the UK Curriculum, but this can vary. We’d be happy to speak to you about your experience, and find out if we’d be able to help you find a role.

Vetting

What documents will I need to provide?

We’ll need evidence of your identity, right to work and teaching qualifaction. In addition, we’ll need an enhanced DBS certificate and references from two recent previous employers.

Can you apply for a DBS for me?

Roles

What roles do you cover?

We help Teachers, Teaching Assistants, and Cover Supervisors find work. We work with all types of schools and help with short-term, long-term and permanent roles. Many of our long-term roles convert to permanent roles. We make it far easier than a traditional agency for teachers to convert temporary positions into permanent ones.

What areas do you cover?

We work with over 400 schools in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds.

How much work is there?

Generally speaking, we have consistently high demand for daily supply teachers in Greater London, Manchester Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds. Teaching assistant work is generally higher for long-term roles rather than daily supply cover.

Do you have primary, secondary or nursery jobs?

Yes. We can help with daily supply and long-term jobs in nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools. We don’t typically have jobs in further education or college.

Do you have work for cover supervisors, invigilators, or school administrators?

While the majority of our work is for teachers and teaching assistants, we do also have work for cover supervisors and invigilators. Explain what you are looking for when you sign up and our team will help you.

What subjects do you cover?

We cover all subjects taught in primary and secondary schools - if you’re not sure if we can help you with what you’re looking for, please register and arrange to speak to a member of our Teacher Success team.

Do you do school admin jobs?

If you’re looking for teaching or teaching assistant roles, and would also be interested in admin roles, it’s worth letting us know. If you’re only looking for admin roles, we might not be the place for you, as this isn't what we specialise in.

General

How is Zen different from a recruitment agency?

Zen Educate is a technology platform to connect teachers with schools directly. Agencies are an expensive middleman between schools and teachers. They have to charge high commissions because their booking procedures are largely manual and run on outdated systems. Because we run more of the process online or on your phone, we create an experience that delights schools and teachers at a fraction of the cost.

What roles do you cover?

Start a conversation on chat or email support@zeneducate.com and our friendly team will get back to you shortly.
