Graduate SEN Teaching Assistant
Location: Sutton, South London
Role: Full-time, Monday to Friday, 8:30am–15:30pm
Salary: £500–£600 per week
Start Date: September 2025
Have you recently graduated with a degree in Psychology, Education Studies, Childhood Studies or a related subject?
Are you eager to begin a rewarding career in education, psychology, or mental health, supporting children who need specialist help to reach their full potential?
This welcoming specialist SEN school in Sutton supports young people with a wide range of additional needs. Students here may have communication difficulties, cognitive challenges, or social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. The school prides itself on providing a nurturing and inclusive environment where every pupil can thrive—academically, socially and emotionally.
Now expanding its dedicated team, the school is looking for a Graduate SEN Teaching Assistant who is eager to develop their understanding of special educational needs and make a meaningful impact on children’s lives.
Who We’re Looking For
The ideal candidate will have:
- A recent degree (2:2 or above) in Psychology, Education, Special Educational Needs and Disability, or a related field
- A genuine passion for supporting young people in their learning and development
- An empathetic, patient, and resilient nature
- A strong interest in building a long-term career in education, therapy, or child development
- Previous experience working with children (desirable but not essential)
The Role
This is an exceptional opportunity for a graduate to gain practical, hands-on experience within a supportive school setting. As a Graduate SEN Teaching Assistant, you will have access to excellent training, modern facilities—including sensory rooms and therapeutic spaces—and a collaborative team of teachers and specialists.
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Providing personalised support to students with additional learning and emotional needs
- Working with pupils displaying challenging behaviour, using evidence-based approaches
- Supporting students with ASD and communication difficulties to develop confidence and independence
- Collaborating closely with therapists, SENCOs, and teaching staff to ensure each child receives holistic, tailored support
- Developing your understanding of EHCPs, adaptive teaching and early intervention strategies
This is more than just a job—it’s the perfect first step towards a future career in educational psychology, therapy, or SEN teaching. You’ll gain the experience, insight, and confidence to progress in whichever path you choose.
Application Process
If you’re a caring, motivated graduate ready to inspire children and support them in achieving their goals, apply today to become a Graduate SEN Teaching Assistant in Sutton.
