Full-Time | Immediate Start | Long-Term Role
Are you passionate about supporting children with autism and making a real difference every day?
A welcoming and inclusive SEN school in Southend is looking to appoint a dedicated 1:1 Autism Support Assistant to join their team on a full-time, long-term basis starting immediately. This is a rewarding opportunity to work closely with a pupil, helping them thrive both academically and socially within a supportive school environment.

- Support the pupil’s learning, communication, and social development
- Help manage routines, transitions, and classroom expectations
- Implement strategies to support emotional regulation and behaviour
- Adapt learning activities to meet individual needs
- Encourage confidence, independence, and engagement
- Work closely with the class teacher, SENCO, and support staff
What We’re Looking For
- Experience supporting children with autism or SEN
- A calm, patient, and consistent approach
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
- Ability to build positive, trusting relationships with pupils
- Understanding of behaviour and emotional support strategies
- A genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs
- An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply)
Why This Role Stands Out
- A meaningful 1:1 role where you can see real progress
- Join a supportive and inclusive SEN school
- Full-time, long-term stability
- Opportunity to develop your experience in autism support
- Ongoing guidance from your GSL Education consultant
Please note that this role requires a strong knowledge and understanding of safeguarding and child protection. Successful applicants must satisfy all background safer recruitment checks, including an enhanced DBS.
If you’re a compassionate and dedicated support assistant ready to make a positive impact, this could be the perfect role for you.
