Summary
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.
