Behaviour Teaching Assistant

1 Days Old

Behaviour Teaching Assistant (SEN) - Tower Hamlets
£90-£105 per day (PAYE) | Full-Time | Term-Time Only | Long-Term

Some students find school overwhelming. Noise, routines, expectations, social situations - it can all build up, especially for young people with special educational needs. When that pressure spills over into behaviour, they don't need punishment - they need understanding and support.

We're working with a secondary school in Tower Hamlets who are looking for an SEN Behaviour Teaching Assistant to support pupils with SEMH, autism, ADHD and emotional regulation needs. This is a hands-on role for someone who can stay calm, consistent and supportive, even on the tough days.

What you'll be doing:

Supporting SEN pupils on a 1:1 basis or in small groups

Helping students manage emotions, transitions and challenging moments

Using de-escalation and positive behaviour strategies to keep students safe and settled

Supporting pupils to re-engage with learning after incidents

Working closely with the SENCO, pastoral team and teaching staff

Building trusting relationships through consistency and clear boundaries

Recognising progress and effort, not just outcomes

This role could be right for you if you:

Have experience supporting young people with SEN or behavioural needs

Understand that behaviour is often a form of communication

Can balance empathy with firm, fair boundaries

Stay patient and level-headed when situations escalate

Are committed to helping vulnerable students feel understood and supported

This role isn't about controlling behaviour - it's about supporting students to regulate, communicate, and succeed in school.

If that sounds like the kind of work you'd find rewarding, we'd love to hear from you
