About the Role
As a Teaching Assistant at Brick Lane School, you won’t just support learning you’ll help shape lives. You’ll work closely with students who have a range of needs and strengths, supporting them through personalised learning journeys built on trust, encouragement, and consistency.
You’ll assist with preparing engaging lessons, delivering hands-on activities, and providing essential emotional and physical support. Whether supporting learning in the classroom or facilitating outdoor activities, no two days will be the same.
You'll support students across a range of ages, abilities and pathways of need within our specialist SEN setting. This is a varied and rewarding role that requires flexibility, patience and a commitment to helping every student achieve their potential.
Working as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team, you will:
• Support students with varied and complex needs to access learning, develop independence and build important life skills.
• Assist in the preparation and delivery of engaging classroom, practical and outdoor learning activities.
• Provide consistent emotional, social and physical support to promote wellbeing, confidence and positive engagement.
• Work flexibly across different classes and learning environments, responding to the individual needs of students.
• Implement agreed strategies and follow guidance from teachers and clinical professionals to support positive outcomes.
• Support students with intimate and personal care where required as part of their individual support plans.
• Assist with swimming sessions, including entering the pool to support students where needed.
• Build positive, trusting relationships that help students feel safe, valued and ready to learn.
Previous experience within an SEN setting, particularly supporting autistic students and/or students with additional needs, would be beneficial. However, we are equally keen to hear from candidates who demonstrate the right values, a willingness to learn and a genuine commitment to helping students thrive.
What You'll Bring
We're looking for compassionate, adaptable and enthusiastic individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of young people.
You'll have:
• GCSE Grade C/4 or above (or equivalent) in English and Maths.
• Level 2 or 3 Certificate in Supporting Teaching and Learning in an SEN provision.
• A caring and flexible approach to supporting students with a wide range of needs.
• The confidence to embrace a dynamic, hands-on role within a specialist school environment.
• Strong teamwork and communication skills, with the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues and professionals.
• A positive attitude, resilience and a willingness to learn new skills.
• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of students.
• Experience supporting autistic students and/or students with additional needs would be advantageous, but is not essential.
Most importantly, you'll bring empathy, patience and a genuine desire to help students grow in confidence, develop independence and achieve the very best outcomes.
