Role: Teaching Assistant
Location: Horsham, West Sussex
Hours: 5 days per week, 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM (Term-time only-perfect for work-life balance!)
Salary: Grade 4 (£25,583-£25,989 per annum, pro rata)
If you are looking to step away from the corporate grind, a parent looking for a rewarding role that matches school holidays, or a graduate wanting real-world classroom experience, this is the perfect opportunity.
We are looking for a natural mentor to join a friendly, supportive secondary school community in Horsham. As a Teaching Assistant, you won't just be helping with schoolwork-you will be a calm, confident, and reassuring presence for students who need a bit of extra emotional, behavioural, or learning support to reach their personal best.
No prior teaching qualification is required; your life experience, empathy, and communication skills are what matter most!
What the Role Involves:
Making an Impact: Working within a dedicated Inclusion Team to support students across all subject areas.
Guiding Growth: Helping students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) develop their learning and personal skills.
Building Connections: Working closely with a fantastic team of teachers and staff to keep the classroom positive and productive.
What You Bring to the Table:
A calm, organised, and positive attitude.
Experience working with young people, whether through previous jobs, volunteering, coaching, or parenting.
GCSE Maths and English (Grade A-C) or equivalent.
Great communication skills and a team-player mindset.
Note: Because this role involves working closely with young people, the successful applicant will need to complete an Enhanced DBS check, social media check, and provide satisfactory references prior to starting.
Ready for something more meaningful?
The school is looking to hire quickly and may interview candidates before the final deadline of Monday 1st June 2026 (9:00 AM). Don't wait to apply!
