The role 

Smart Teachers are recruiting for full time SEN Teaching Assistants to work in a ‘outstanding’ three-form entry in Harrow.

There will be no personal care required and the successful SEN Teaching Assistants will only need to focus on one pupil during lesson time and playtimes. 

The School

This is a great opportunity to be a part of a lovely all-through school who is looking for a new member to join the team and help with support. Ofsted graded the school as outstanding and with welcoming staff why wouldn’t it be?  More specifically, positive feedback is usually related to how friendly and welcoming the staff members are. The leadership team are mindful of ensuring that all the staff are looked after and there are many opportunities to progress within the school with the regular CPD courses.  The school is also situated nicely between easily accessible train stations.
