SEMH Teaching Assistant

Full-time

Primary School

Wandsworth

ASAP until July 2026

A lovely primary school in Wandsworth are looking for a dedicated learning support assistant to join them as soon as possible to support two pupils with SEMH challenges.

The Role

You will be working with two children in Year 1 who need support to regulate emotions and focus on learning. As the children aren't ready to identify their emotions and advocate for needing a break, you would need to be able to pre-empt and pick up on these signals and offer co-regulation. In addition, you need to respond consistently to the child's behaviours, following their individual behaviour plans.

The school are looking for someone reliable and consistent who is flexible, positive, can think on their feet and be part of the team.

The School

This friendly and welcoming primary school is rated good by Ofsted and has high expectations of both staff and children. There is a culture of respect and honesty with a drive for pupils to become independent and responsible learners. The school is close to Tooting Broadway underground station with excellent transport links and benefits from modern and well equipped indoor and outdoor learning spaces.

If this position is of interest, please apply with an up-to-date CV outlining your training and experience.
