About the role and school

Teach Plus is seeking a dedicated and compassionate Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming primary school in Southall, Ealing, starting ASAP. This full-time Teaching Assistant opportunity is based within the school's Additionally Resourced Provision (ARP), supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including Autism, ADHD, speech and language communication difficulties, and complex needs. The successful Teaching Assistant will provide tailored support to help pupils access learning, develop communication skills, build independence and achieve their individual goals in a safe, structured and nurturing environment.

The school is an inclusive, community-focused primary setting in the Southall area of Ealing, serving a diverse local community and placing pupils' wellbeing, progress and personal development at the heart of its approach. With a strong emphasis on inclusive education, positive relationships and high expectations, the school aims to create an environment where every child feels valued and supported.
