Are you calm, nurturing and passionate about helping young children with additional needs flourish from the very start of their learning journey?

The Opportunity

Long Term Futures are working in collaboration with a modern and inclusive primary school in Camden to appoint a full-time Teaching Assistant in Reception. This diverse and community-focused school is seeking an experienced EYFS practitioner to provide tailored support to several pupils with complex needs, including autism spectrum conditions and developmental delays.

You'll work closely with the class teacher and SEND team to provide structured one-on-one tutoring and small group instruction. The ability to embed sensory strategies, follow visual routines, and apply effective behaviour management will be key to ensuring pupils feel secure, supported, and ready to engage in learning.

Your Role Will Include:

• Supporting individual pupils through one-on-one tutoring during structured play and focused activities
• Using visual aids, timetables and sensory tools to establish routine and reduce anxiety
• Assisting with early communication, social interaction and emotional regulation
• Adapting learning materials and contributing to lesson planning within the EYFS framework
• Monitoring progress daily and sharing feedback with the class teacher and SENCO

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience supporting children in early years, especially with ASD or developmental needs
• A patient and proactive approach to behaviour management
• Familiarity with EYFS learning goals, communication strategies and sensory integration
• Confidence in building trusting relationships with young children and their families
• A Level 3 TA or EYFS qualification (desirable but not essential for the right candidate)

Why Work with Long Term Futures?

• Access to free CPD including Autism Awareness, EYFS Strategies and SEND Communication
• Consistent, long-term work in supportive settings
• Weekly pay through our easy-to-use online system
• Personalised support from a dedicated consultant throughout
