Ortus Recruitment is working in partnership with a highly supportive and inclusive mainstream primary school in Ealing (W5) to appoint two full-time 1:1 Teaching Assistants for long-term roles starting this September 2025.

The Teaching Assistant Roles

Role 1 – Year 2 (KS1) – 1:1 Autism Support
Join the Year 2 team to support a pupil with ASC who thrives on routine, visual cues, and consistent adult support. You’ll help the child remain focused, emotionally regulated, and engaged throughout the day. Patience, clear communication, and a calm manner are essential.

Role 2 – Year 4 (KS2) – 1:1 Support: ASC + Below Curriculum Level
Work 1:1 with a pupil in Year 4 with autism who is also working significantly below age-related expectations. You’ll adapt tasks, provide repetition and structured activities, and help them feel confident and secure in their learning.
