What skills and experience we're looking for

Join Team FCAT

Are you a qualified Teaching Assistant at Level 2 or 3 or looking to start or build your career in education through a Level 2 or 3 TA apprenticeship?

To develop our support at a specialist level to children in class or with an education, health and care plan (EHCP) in our schools, we have created a team of Learning Support Assistants to work in our primary and secondary schools. There are around 20 colleagues currently working in this team.

If you are already qualified at Level 3 or looking to develop your career further through a Level 3 TA apprenticeship - this is a great opportunity for you!

You will work in school to provide specialist support to children with an education, health and care plan across a range of needs; including working to support students’ emotional regulation and mental health and delivering specialist interventions.
