Description

A highly regarded independent all-girls secondary school in Wimbledon is seeking a dedicated and compassionate Teaching Assistant to join their team from 1st September. This is a full-time position, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:00pm, during term time.

The successful candidate will primarily support students within the mainstream classroom environment, with a particular focus on providing 1:1 support to pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and speech and language needs. While the role is embedded in a mainstream setting, experience and understanding of Special Educational Needs (SEN) is essential.

Key Requirements:
Previous experience working with secondary-aged pupils, ideally within a school setting

Proven background in supporting students with SEN, particularly ASD and speech and language challenges

A valid enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service

A professional, patient, and proactive approach to working with young people

The ability to work collaboratively with teachers and other support staff

This role offers a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of young learners, supporting their educational and personal development in a nurturing and inclusive environment.

Interested applicants should be ready to contribute to the school’s supportive ethos and uphold its high standards of pastoral care and academic excellence.
