The Opportunity
Are you a compassionate, creative, and proactive individual looking to make a genuine difference in the lives of young people? We are a NAS-accredited specialist school seeking dedicated Teaching Assistants to join our expanding team.
Our students (aged 6-19) have a range of complex needs, including autism, ADHD, and physical or sensory impairments. We don't just focus on the classroom; we focus on the person. If you are a "solution-focused" thinker who sees potential where others see barriers, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
As a vital member of our specialist team, you will support students across a variety of settings-from our well-resourced classrooms to the local community.
Empowerment: Support students with PMLD and complex medical needs to achieve their personal and educational goals.
Holistic Support: Assist with learning, development, and progress, including participation in personal care and physical intervention routines when necessary.
Innovation: Use your creativity to help students manage anxiety and sensory overload, building their confidence for adult life.
Collaboration: Work alongside an exceptional therapeutic team in a highly specialist environment.
Who We Are Looking For
You don't need to have years of SEN experience, but you must have the right heart. We are looking for:
Ambition: A desire to grow. We will fully fund your training and formal qualifications.
Resilience: A proactive attitude and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
Communication: The ability to connect with students who may have complex communication needs.
Practicality: Level 2 (or equivalent) in Maths and English is required.
Spirit: A love for outdoor learning and a commitment to safeguarding and equality.
Why Join Us?
Meaningful Work: Every day you will be improving the life chances of young people.
Professional Growth: We invest in you. Your development is our priority.
Exceptional Facilities: Work in a highly specialist learning environment with a supportive, expert team.
