Veritas are working with a well‑regarded Catholic Secondary School in West London, known for its strong values, excellent pastoral care, and high academic standards. The school is seeking an experienced Teaching Assistant to join their large and supportive SEN team, starting immediately.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about supporting young people within a community rooted in respect, compassion, and faith.

The site is easily accessible via public transport, with excellent bus links and nearby train stations. Limited on‑site parking and local street parking are also available.

Key Requirements:

• Experience working with secondary school students (ages 11-16)
• Experience supporting students with SEN
• Ability to build positive relationships and model the school's values
• Confident managing challenging behaviour
• Friendly, professional, and adaptable approach
