  • Class Teaching Assistant - Richmond Upon Thames Independent-school
    Independent School school in Richmond upon ThamesFull Time
    7 Sep - 18 Dec 2026
    Year 7/8 SEN Teaching Assistant (Secondary Transition) Location: South West London (Richmond / Twickenham area) Contract Type: Full-Time, Temporary (September – December) Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM (approx.) Daily Rate: Competitive Zen rates (based on experience) About the Role We are seeking a proactive, intuitive, and supportive SEN Teaching Assistant for a high-performing independent school in South West London. This role is unique: you will be supporting a bright boy in Year 7/8 who is academically capable and independent in class, but requires a dedicated professional on hand to provide a safety net, emotional regulation, and subtle intervention when needed. Rather than intensive hands-on teaching, this role requires an observant "mentor-style" approach—knowing when to step back and let the student thrive, and exactly when to step in to keep him on track. This is a fixed-term position running from September to December, making it perfect for someone looking for a impactful autumn term contract. Key Responsibilities Shadow Support: Maintain a discreet presence in the classroom, allowing the pupil to work independently while remaining ready to assist if required. Emotional & Social Regulation: Help the pupil navigate the social and academic transitions of the upper prep/early senior school years. Liaison: Work closely with the class teachers and the SENDCo to provide brief feedback on the pupil’s daily engagement. Promote Independence: Encourage the pupil’s confidence, self-reliance, and peer interactions. The Ideal Candidate Perceptive & Patient: You understand that great SEN support sometimes means giving a student space, rather than constant hovering. Experienced: Previous experience working with Key Stage 2 or Key Stage 3 pupils with SEN (e.g., ASD, ADHD, or anxiety/SEMH) is highly desirable. Professional & Adaptable: You can blend seamlessly into a dynamic, high-achieving school environment. Reliable: Committed to the full duration of the contract (September to December). Why Register with Zen Educate? Fairer Pay: We pay our educators more and charge schools less. No Umbrella Companies: Transparent pay directly into your account. Hassle-Free: Manage your calendar and bookings easily through our app. Dedicated Support: Access to a team that matches you with the right roles in your local area.

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.
