SEN Teaching Assistant

What We Are Looking For At Wanstead High School, we are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Teaching Assistant who is committed to supporting all pupils to achieve their full potential. The successful candidate will have experience of working with young people with a range of special educational needs and disabilities, including for example ADHD, Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, speech and language difficulties, and moderate learning difficulties. Ideally, you will bring experience of delivering targeted 1:1 interventions and be confident supporting pupils across a wide range of abilities. At Wanstead High, we have high aspirations for all our pupils, including those with SEND. Many are academically able and motivated, so a strong standard of literacy and numeracy-and a secure understanding of core subjects such as English, Maths and Science-is essential to effectively support their learning and progress. We are looking for someone
who is patient, proactive and reflective, and who shares our commitment to inclusive practice, high expectations and nurturing positive relationships with pupils.
