Job Details

Are you passionate about helping children and young people with autism thrive? We're looking for Teaching Assistants to join a specialist autism school in West London that uses ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) and Verbal Behaviour to give every pupil a structured, personalised programme.

This is ideal if you have experience with ASD, or you're a psychology graduate keen to build a career in autism, behaviour or education.

What you'll be doing

• Supporting pupils with ASD on a 1:1 or small group basis, across primary and secondary
• Following each pupil's individual ABA programme consistently
• Using reinforcement, prompting and visual supports to build communication and independence
• Recording data accurately to track each pupil's progress
• Supporting personal care with dignity where needed
• Working closely with teachers and therapists as part of a supportive team

What we're looking for

• Experience supporting children or young people with ASD, in a school, ABA programme, care or home setting
• ABA, Verbal Behaviour, PECS or Makaton experience is a big plus
• A degree in Psychology, Education or a related subject is desirable
• A calm, patient and consistent approach
• Willingness to learn and follow a structured approach exactly
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply

Why work with Principal Education

• A dedicated SEND consultant who has worked solely in SEN and knows the school
• Full preparation before your first day, so you know exactly how the school works
• Weekly pay and support throughout your placement
• Real routes into long term and permanent roles, with candidates already moving into January contracts
