In the heart of every great school is a quiet engine room: a dedicated Teaching Assistant (TA) working tirelessly to support, guide and empower the children who need it most.

From the busy classrooms of Barnet and Brent to the inclusive learning environments in Harrow, Hertfordshire, Croydon and Kingston — Teaching Assistants are transforming futures every single day.

And at Uniform Education, we're not just filling roles — we're building a movement of specialist SEN support staff across London and the surrounding boroughs who genuinely make a difference.

Teaching Assistants: The Backbone of SEN Success

For children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), the school day can be overwhelming, frustrating, and often isolating. That’s where TAs step in — providing stability, structure, and personalised support that helps these pupils feel safe, confident, and understood.

Whether it’s one-to-one support for a pupil with autism in Sutton, behaviour mentoring for SEMH students in Croydon, or phonics catch-up in a primary school in Brent, Teaching Assistants don’t just assist — they inspire progress, emotionally and academically.

​

Why SEN Support Matters More Than Ever

With rising numbers of pupils requiring specialist support across London and the Home Counties, the demand for skilled, compassionate SEN Teaching Assistants has never been greater.

In boroughs like Barnet, Brent, Harrow, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Kingston and beyond, schools are relying on high-calibre SEN TAs who can adapt to a wide range of complex needs — from ADHD and ASD to speech, language and physical disabilities.

But this isn’t just about filling a staffing gap. It’s about placing the right people in the right settings — individuals with empathy, resilience, and the training to change lives.

Uniform Education: Raising the Bar for SEN Recruitment in London

At Uniform Education, we do things differently. We’ve specialised in SEND recruitment across London and the South East since 2005, and we’ve built a network of schools and professionals who trust us because we understand the sector inside out.

We don’t just send CVs. We take time to learn what each school needs, and we personally match them with Teaching Assistants who are genuinely passionate about inclusive education.

From Carew Academy in Sutton to dynamic PRUs in Harrow, from mainstream primary schools in Barnet to specialist SEMH settings in Berkshire — we are proud to supply the most committed and capable TAs in the game.
