What skills and experience we're looking for
Do you want to help us develop the provision for SEMH and ASD across Maiden Erlegh Trust?
We can offer:
- a rewarding but challenging working environment
- an optimistic and motivating leadership team with a track record of improving schools.
- a commitment to professional development, and a belief in driving improvement through our trauma informed practice.
- the opportunity to work with a wider professional team at Cranbury College
We are looking to recruit a resilient Teaching Assistant. This role is instrumental in the day-to-day support of student learning in our classrooms.

The main responsibilities of this role are as follows:
- Providing classroom support to those who have barriers to learning to ensure they have access the curriculum and are able to work independently and within groups to make progress.
- To support the supervision of students during break and lunch times
- To support the Pastoral Team in managing behaviour, being on hand to support throughout the day across all year groups.
The successful applicant will be passionate about transforming the lives of young people and bring with them an abundance of enthusiasm which can encourage engagement and commitment from our students. Whilst experience is not necessary, you must have a good standard of literacy, be adaptable and willing to be involved in all aspects of school life, have a calm manner and be able to work as part of a team.
You will enjoy nurturing young people to help
them grow in confidence and flourish personally. You will share our inclusive
values of “opportunity, diversity and success for all”.
