Kickstart Your Career as an SEN LSA or Teaching Assistant in London & the Home Counties with Uniform Education

Are you passionate about making a difference in children's lives? Looking for a meaningful, rewarding role in education? Whether you're just starting out or have experience in schools, working as a Teaching Assistant (TA) or SEN Learning Support Assistant (LSA) could be the perfect next step — and Uniform Education is here to help you land your ideal role in London and the Home Counties, including Barnet, Enfield, Croydon, Southwark, Harrow, Hertfordshire, and Surrey.

Why Become a Teaching Assistant or SEN LSA?

Teaching Assistants and Learning Support Assistants play a vital role in supporting classroom learning, building confidence, and creating inclusive educational environments — particularly for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). It’s a job where every day matters, and no two days are ever the same.

Working as a TA or LSA can include:

  • Supporting Children 1:1 or in small groups

  • Assisting students with autism (ASD), ADHD, or SEMH needs

  • Helping manage classroom behaviour

  • Creating a safe and engaging learning environment

  • Supporting teachers with lesson delivery

Demand is High – Especially in SEN Schools Across London & Surrounding Areas

Across London boroughs such as Barnet, Enfield, Croydon, Harrow, Southwark, and Home Counties like Hertfordshire and Surrey, there is a high demand for LSAs and Teaching Assistants, particularly in SEN schools and alternative provisions.

Whether you're based in North London, South London, or further out in places like Watford, Kingston, Redhill, or Hemel Hempstead, there are hundreds of daily and long-term roles waiting for skilled, compassionate support staff like you.

No Experience? No Problem.

At Uniform Education, we work with:

Aspiring teachers
