What skills and experience we're looking for

The Board of Directors of The Rainbow Multi Academy Trust are looking to appoint a dedicated and enthusiastic ARB Teaching Assistant to support pupils learning at Trevithick Learning Academy. This is a rewarding opportunity to work within our ARB, supporting pupils with a range of needs and helping them access a broad, balanced, and inclusive education.

The successful candidate will be patient and empathetic, supporting pupils in managing their behaviour while fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment. Prior experience working with SEN pupils is highly desirable. Strong communication skills, a compassionate approach, flexibility, and an engaging personality are essential for this position.

As an ARB Teaching Assistant, you will play a vital role in helping pupils engage with the curriculum during whole class, group, and one-to-one activities. You will work closely with class teachers and ARB staff to ensure every child receives a broad, balanced, and well-rounded education. Supporting the development of communication and social skills will be central to your role, and you will adapt approaches to meet individual needs while fostering independence and confidence.

Trevithick Learning Academy is part of The Rainbow Multi Academy Trust where our schools work in partnership to fulfil our belief that together, we can build a brighter future for our children. We are looking for a new member of staff to embrace and support our schools in creating an environment where the children have the opportunity to be the best they can be.
