Job Description

A warm and supportive primary school in Acton is seeking a committed EYFS SEN TA to work 1:1 with a Reception pupil diagnosed with ASD, speech delay, and difficulties with social engagement. You will support the child throughout the school day, helping them transition between tasks, communicate their needs, and remain engaged in adult-led and child-led activities.

The role requires delivering individually tailored routines, using visuals such as now-and-next boards, social stories, and simple communication boards. In addition, you will lead small play-based learning sessions that promote turn-taking, interaction, and early language development. The school places a strong emphasis on consistency, emotional wellbeing, and building trust with pupils who require additional care and attention.

This is an exciting opportunity for a TA who enjoys structured early years work, thrives in a nurturing environment, and can bring creativity into their daily practice. You’ll receive regular guidance from the SENCO and may work with external therapists who provide strategies for implementation.

Key Skills

• Strong knowledge of ASD behaviours and support strategies

• Ability to follow structured routines and create visual supports

• Calm, patient, and resilient approach

• Excellent communication with staff and families

• Skilled at creating simple, engaging EYFS learning activities

Requirements

• Previous experience supporting children with ASD

• Enhanced DBS

• Understanding of safeguarding

• Good English skills and ability to record progress notes

Summary

This role is ideal for a caring and consistent TA looking for a meaningful position supporting a Reception child’s communication, confidence, and independence within a friendly Acton school.
