What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint highly motivated, enthusiastic, hardworking and flexible Teaching Assistants to join a team of dedicated staff who are committed to providing an excellent learning environment and become part of a successful team in a busy working environment.

We have a range of positions available for those who have had significant experience of working with complex young people in an educational setting to those who would like to gain expertise and further develop their skills in a setting like ours.

We are looking for Teaching Assistants, who can follow the direction of the teacher, work with individual and small groups of children, prepare classrooms and materials, and build positive relationships with children and young people to promote interaction and learning.

Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure and you will be working in a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.

Ultimately, all of our roles give you the opportunity to enrich the lives of young people and make a positive difference and we are looking for individuals with the right motivation, personal qualities and good levels of resilience.

We offer a friendly and inclusive working environment and the chance to be part of a fantastic multidisciplinary team, who work hard and support each other to deliver personalised, bespoke education & care.
