Teaching Assistant - Enhanced Learning Provisions

Got a calm head, a kind heart, and a real talent for helping young people feel safe and understood? Then this could be right up your street.

Protocol Education is working with a number of welcoming schools across Wimbledon who are looking for support staff to join their Enhanced Learning Provisions. These settings support pupils who need a little extra structure, reassurance and encouragement to thrive at school.

This isn’t a role where you stand on the sidelines. You’ll be right there, building trust, offering consistency and helping pupils believe in themselves, sometimes for the very first time.

• Working closely with teachers and SEN teams to keep days calm, safe and purposeful

• Helping young people regulate emotions, stay engaged and feel understood

• Creating a supportive environment where progress feels achievable, even on tough days

We’re looking for people who

• Are patient, resilient and genuinely care about young people

• Have experience in schools, SEND, youth work, care or similar settings, or are keen to learn

• Stay calm under pressure and don’t take challenging moments personally

• Want to make a real difference, even when the days feel demanding

What you’ll get in return

• Roles in supportive schools that truly value their support staff

• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella faff

• FREE access to our CPD Academy, including SEND and behaviour training

• A friendly, local consultant who listens and works around you

• Opportunities for long-term and ongoing placements
