The school is looking for someone thoughtful, academically capable and committed to building consistent relationships with the children they support. As an ASD Teaching Assistant, you'll gain practical experience in adapting learning activities, supporting emotional regulation and developing communication strategies for pupils with different needs. Working alongside experienced education professionals will help you understand how individual support plans translate into everyday classroom practice. You'll develop your understanding of sensory processing, structured routines and approaches that promote pupil independence. This is a role where patience, observation and professional judgement matter just as much as enthusiasm.

Deliver targeted interventions that develop social communication, emotional understanding and early academic skills. Encourage independence through carefully planned learning activities and consistent positive reinforcement. Monitor pupil engagement, progress and behaviour, sharing observations with teachers and the SENCO. Adapt classroom resources to accommodate sensory preferences, different processing speeds and individual learning profiles. Collaborate with teaching staff and specialist professionals to maintain consistent approaches across the school day. Ideal Candidate for This Ilford School: A strong academic background, ideally a 2:1 degree or above in Psychology, Education, Neuroscience, Linguistics or a related subject, is desirable. An interest in autism, neurodiversity and inclusive education is essential, with previous SEND experience beneficial but not mandatory. The ability to build trusting relationships with children who may communicate verbally, non-verbally or through alternative communication methods. A calm, patient and observant manner, particularly when supporting pupils experiencing sensory overload or emotional dysregulation. A clear interest in progressing towards educational psychology, specialist teaching, speech and language therapy or child development. Availability for a full-time, long-term position and willingness to contribute consistently to pupils' individual support plans. Why Join This Ilford School? Develop practical understanding of individualised support within a mainstream primary classroom. Build sustained working relationships through regular one-to-one and small-group support. Understand how teachers, SENCOs and external specialists coordinate provision for pupils with additional needs. Gain experience using visual communication tools, sensory strategies and structured interventions. Build a strong foundation for postgraduate psychology applications, SEND qualifications or future teacher training. Follow pupil progress over time rather than moving between short-term placements. How to Apply: If you're ready to develop your experience as an ASD Teaching Assistant in Ilford, we'd welcome an application outlining your academic background, relevant experience and interest in autism support. Working closely with children who have autism offers an opportunity to understand how thoughtful, consistent support can shape their experience of school.
