Teaching Assistant – Secondary School, Full-Time (Temporary)

Are you an enthusiastic and compassionate educator looking to make a real difference in young people’s lives? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a thriving secondary education setting in Brent as a Teaching Assistant, supporting students across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5, with a strong focus on Special Educational Needs (SEN).

This role is perfect for graduates or experienced support staff who are passionate about inclusion, student wellbeing, and academic progress. You’ll become part of a welcoming, high-performing academy community where staff work collaboratively every day to deliver outstanding teaching and learning, and to create an exceptional environment for academic, artistic, and sporting success.

The Role

As a Teaching Assistant, you will play a key role in helping students overcome barriers to learning and achieve their potential. Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering English-focused interventions, both one-to-one and in small groups

• Supporting students with SEN in lessons and structured support sessions

• Assisting teachers with classroom activities, behaviour support, and differentiation

• Building positive relationships that encourage confidence, engagement, and resilience

• Contributing to a calm, inclusive, and supportive learning environment

• Working hours: 8:30am – 4:00pm, Monday to Friday

What We’re Looking For

• A positive, proactive personality with a genuine passion for supporting young people

• Strong literacy skills and confidence delivering English interventions

• Interest or experience in SEN support (formal experience not essential)

• Reliability, empathy, and a collaborative mindset

Why This Role Stands Out

• Competitive daily rate with full-time consistency

• Excellent CPD and training opportunities to support your career progression

• Ideal experience for those considering teacher training or long-term roles in education

• Supportive leadership and a friendly, professional staff team

• A role that offers purpose, variety, and real impact—every single day

If you’re committed to helping students succeed and want to grow within a nurturing educational environment, this Teaching Assistant role is an outstanding opportunity.
