We are excited to offer an incredible opportunity for two passionate and dedicated teaching assistants to join our amazing team in our Specialist Hub of Inclusive Practice (SHIP), opening in January 2025.

Our SHIP will accommodate sixteen pupils with complex needs in two groups - an early intervention class for infant children, and an additional intervention class for junior children.

We are committed to supporting children with complex needs to grow, flourish, and lead happy, successful lives. If you are enthusiastic about inclusive practice and want to make a meaningful impact, we would love to hear from you!

As a teaching assistant in the SHIP, you will:

• work closely with the Lead Teacher to deliver high-quality, bespoke learning experiences.
• support the development of holistic approaches that meet the individual needs of each pupil.
• help create a nurturing, inclusive environment where all children feel valued and supported.

We are looking for:

• a genuine passion for working with children with complex needs.
• a nurturing, patient, and proactive approach.
• an understanding of the challenges of working with children who find it difficult to communicate their thoughts and feelings.  
• a strong team player who is eager to learn and develop professionally.

If you would like to join our supportive, dedicated team, and want to be part of something new, meaningful and truly transformative, then please call our wonderful office staff on 01379 642628 to arrange a visit.
