We are an outstanding, well-resourced independent Special Day School catering to students aged 6 to 19 with Moderate to Severe Learning Difficulties (MLD/SLD), autism, ADHD, and complex medical or physical needs.

Term-Time Only: Enjoy the perfect work-life balance with school holidays off.
The Role: How You'll Make a Difference
As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you won't just be sitting in a classroom. You will be a vital anchor for our students, helping them navigate their learning, manage anxiety, and build self-esteem.
Empower Learning: Support students across a diverse curriculum, both inside the classroom and out in the local community.
Holistic Support: Assist young people with complex needs, autism, and physical impairments to reach their unique educational and personal goals.
Create a Safe Haven: Help maintain a respectful, inclusive environment that champions equality and the rights of every learner.
Diverse & Active Duties: From outdoor learning to assisting with personal care routines and physical interventions, no two days are the same. You will be ready to lend a hand wherever needed.

You don't need a lifetime of experience-we value attitude, heart, and potential above all else. We are looking for someone who is:
Compassionate & Patient: Driven by a genuine desire to support young people with additional needs.
Solution-Focused: A creative thinker who is proactive rather than reactive when facing challenges.
A Team Player: Confident working independently but thrives in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team.
An Outdoor Lover: Enthusiastic about community-based and outdoor learning.
Qualified: Educated to at least Level 2 (or equivalent) in English and Maths.
Committed: Fully aligned with strict safeguarding values to keep our students safe.
