1:1 Teaching Assistant – Autistic Year 12 Student (Sixth Form) Camberwell, Southwark | 3 days/week (Mon, Tue, Fri) | Immediate start available An outstanding, oversubscribed Catholic secondary school and sixth form in Camberwell is looking for a Teaching Assistant to work one-to-one with an autistic Year 12 male student, supporting him across his Physics, Maths and Computing lessons. The role: Support the student to stay focused on tasks set by the class teacher — he can be easily distracted, so in-lesson attention and gentle redirection are key. Build a genuine, motivating relationship with the student. He is capable but at times chooses not to engage with the work, so this role is as much about connection and encouragement as it is about task support. No subject specialism required in Physics, Maths or Computing — the priority is relationship-building and focus support, not subject teaching. There may also be some time supporting as a TA in a small, high-needs Year 10 class, covering for a colleague going on maternity leave from 9th October. About the school: This is a highly regarded, popular secondary school with a sixth form that sends students on to top universities, including Russell Group and Ivy League institutions. It has a strong pastoral culture, with every pupil known and supported individually, and was recently rated Outstanding by Ofsted across every category, including sixth form provision. What we're looking for: Experience supporting autistic young people, ideally in a secondary or sixth-form setting. Patience, resilience, and the ability to build trust with a student who may sometimes push back. Reliable availability on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays, with flexibility to start as soon as next week.…1:1 Teaching Assistant – Autistic Year 12 Student (Sixth Form) Camberwell, Southwark | 3 days/week (Mon, Tue, Fri) | Immediate start available An outstanding, oversubscribed Catholic secondary school and sixth form in Camberwell is looking for a Teaching Assistant to work one-to-one with an autistic Year 12 male student, supporting him across his Physics, Maths and Computing lessons.

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.
