ASD Teaching Assistant in Greenwich, London

Are you an experienced ASD Teaching Assistant looking for your next opportunity within a primary school?

We are recruiting experienced ASD Specialist Teaching Assistants to support pupils across primary schools in Greenwich.

These roles are ideal for practitioners who have previously worked with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), understand the complexities of individual learning needs and can provide consistent, specialist support throughout the school day.

The role:

• Delivering 1:1 and small-group support to pupils with ASD.

• Supporting children with communication, interaction and social development.

• Managing transitions and helping pupils navigate the school day.

• Implementing individual education plans and EHCP targets.

• Supporting emotional regulation and positive behaviour.

• Adapting classroom activities to meet individual learning requirements.

• Working collaboratively with teachers, SENCOs and specialist staff.

What we're looking for:

• Previous, demonstrable experience supporting pupils with ASD.

• Experience within a primary school, specialist school or resource base.

• Understanding of sensory processing and communication differences.

• Experience supporting pupils with varying levels of independence.

• Confidence implementing personalised learning and behaviour strategies.

• Excellent relationship-building and communication skills.

• A proactive, resilient and adaptable approach.

We are particularly keen to hear from candidates who have supported pupils with ASD within specialist resource bases or dedicated SEND provisions.

This is not an entry-level opportunity. Previous hands-on ASD experience is essential.

An enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one, and compliance with Keeping Children Safe in Education requirements will be necessary.

Salary will be determined by the successful candidate's qualifications and relevant experience, and will be in accordance with the client's pay policy.
