As a Teaching Assistant, you will connect directly with the brilliant pupils we care for, helping to make sure they get the very best from their education.

You will:

• Help prepare learning materials and run classroom activities, with plenty of hands-on experience and some supervision too.
• Take responsibility for their emotional and physical needs, supporting them to develop as individuals and engage with the world.
• Face challenges and overcome them as you flourish and thrive, sharing your skills and learning from others as your career takes you as high as you always dreamed you could go.

The aim of the school is to provide enough support to unlock each pupil’s potential so they can live fulfilling and productive lives. To provide young people with as much freedom as possible in a safe and supervised environment. This is achievable due to the dedication and support from a range of employed professionals who are passionate, reliable, and understanding.

If you enjoy working as part of a dedicated team, sharing knowledge, experience and learning, simply apply now and your specialist consultant, Sophie Binns, will be in touch.

There are lots of benefits to be had with our partner school, including the opportunity to take on a Level 2 qualification during your induction! We have training and progression opportunities galore and you will be fully supported by a caring and professional team of staff and senior leaders.
