Milk Education | Tottenham

I’m recruiting for a highly respected specialist SEND provision in Tottenham that supports pupils with complex learning needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), communication difficulties, sensory processing needs, and physical or medical requirements. The school offers a structured, nurturing environment where pupils receive personalised support from a multidisciplinary team.

We’re looking for a dedicated, resilient, and genuinely caring SEN Teaching Assistant to join their team on a day-to-day, term-time basis, with the potential for the role to become long-term or permanent for the right candidate.

About the Role:

This is an extremely hands-on role supporting pupils with a wide range of needs. You’ll be working closely with teachers, therapists, and support staff to deliver individualised learning, communication programmes, and regulation strategies.

• Using positive behaviour support techniques to manage anxiety, transitions, and emotional regulation
• Collaborating with teachers and therapists to follow structured programmes
• Maintaining safeguarding, professionalism, and high standards of care at all times

This setting is ideal for someone who thrives in SEN environments where no two days look the same and where progress is measured in meaningful, real-life milestones.
