We are working with a Special Needs School in Southwark who are looking to appoint a SEND Teaching Assistant. the school is located in Peckham and has great public transport links as well as a large school car park. The school is extremely supportive and will offer candidates a contract after working in the school for a period of time. Students who attend this school are secondary age and also have a sixth form cohort- as a result anyone interested in working in the school will require a child and adult DBS. If you do not have one we can help support this. What does a working day and requirements look like?

  • 09:00-16:00 daily
  • Supporting students within the classroom setting either as a 1:1 or general classroom assistant
  • Be able to work 5 days per week
  • Must have a Child and Adult DBS
  • Previous Care or support work experience would be ideal
  • Previous SEND experience
  • Positive mindset
  • Open to supporting some personal care aspects- as students have PMLD
