SEND TA (SRP / Specialist Setting) | Uxbridge

If you’ve worked in a SEND school or SRP before, you’ll know not every setting gets it right.

This one does.

We’re working with a well-established primary school in Uxbridge with a dedicated Specialist Resource Provision (SRP), looking for an experienced SEND Educator to join their team on a long-term basis.

What you’ll be working with:

• Pupils with Autism (ASD), complex needs and communication difficulties
• A structured SRP environment with clear routines and expectations
• A mix of 1:1 and small group support
• Pupils working below age-related expectations, requiring adapted learning

What makes this setting different:

• Strong, experienced SEN team who understand behaviour and regulation
• Clear systems in place — not reactive or inconsistent
• Specialist resources and strategies already embedded (visuals, timetables, sensory support)
• SLT who are visible and actively support the SRP
• A calm, purposeful environment where staff are supported

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting learning through structured, adapted activities
• Helping pupils regulate emotions and behaviour using consistent strategies
• Following and contributing to EHCP targets and progress tracking
• Working closely with the class teacher, SENCO and wider SEND team
• Building strong, trusting relationships with pupils

What we’re looking for:

• Previous experience in a SEND school or SRP is essential
• Strong understanding of Autism, behaviour and communication needs
• Calm, consistent and resilient approach
• Someone who knows how to support without escalating situations
• Reliable and committed — this role needs consistency

What you’ll get:

• £95–£110 per day (PAYE, no umbrella)
• Long-term role with potential to go permanent
• Opportunity to trial the setting before committing
• A team that understands SEND and will support you properly

The reality:

This is a hands-on role in a specialist setting. It requires patience, consistency and experience — but in the right environment, it’s incredibly rewarding.

Next steps:

Trial days and interviews are happening now, and the school is ready to move quickly for the right person.
