What skills and experience we're looking for
This is an opportunity to join us in making a significant difference to the students at St Thomas a Becket.
We are seeking an innovative Teaching Assistant (KS3/KS4) to join our dynamic SEND team, who are dedicated to providing the best possible opportunities to students with additional needs.

We are proud of our excellent reputation, which is built on outstanding pastoral care in which each individual is known, treasured and supported throughout their school journey, rich wider opportunities and excellent exam results. The relatively small size of the school as well as the way we structure learning, allow us as a staff team to genuinely know each child as an individual, enabling them to thrive and flourish.
We are looking for someone who:
- Will demonstrate a shared commitment to raising standards and provide support to all pupils
- Has high expectations and will encourage pupils to fulfil their potential
- Is committed to inclusion and understands pupils have differing needs
- Has awareness of young persons development and learning
- Is patient, calm and will listen to pupils views
