About the Role
Axcis Education is working in partnership with two welcoming and well-established SEND schools in West Ealing and Greenford to recruit experienced and engaging Teaching Assistants for full-time, long-term positions. The schools are looking to arrange trials as soon as possible, with successful candidates potentially able to secure an early start before transitioning into a long-term role from September 2026.
The Greenford site caters for Primary, Secondary, and Post-16 learners, while the West Ealing site supports Primary and Secondary-aged pupils. Both provisions support students with moderate SEND needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs), and behavioural challenges. The schools are seeking patient, resilient, and proactive individuals who can build positive relationships, support emotional regulation, and help students access learning successfully.
This is an excellent opportunity for candidates looking to secure a long-term role within a supportive SEND environment. Both schools offer strong leadership, ongoing training opportunities, and established behaviour support systems, making them ideal settings for staff looking to develop their SEND experience and make a positive impact on students' lives.
