Job description

Salary: £25,740 - £27,241.50 per annum

We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed professional to join our client's team as a Teaching Assistant in their specialist school.

About the Role:

The successful candidate will:

  • Mentor, support, and inspire learners through curriculum-based learning in the classroom, home tuition, outreach, and outdoor activities.
  • Assist in preparing learning materials and contribute to delivering learning objectives, with a strong focus on behaviour management.
  • Provide daily reports on learners' progress and barriers to learning.
  • Regularly interact with parents/caregivers to support student development.

Essential Requirements:

  • A minimum of 1 year of experience as a Teaching Assistant in an SEN setting.
  • A valid UK driver's licence and access to a car (due to the location of the school).
  • A committed and passionate approach to supporting students with SEND.

Desirable but not Essential:

  • QTS/QTLS qualifications.

What You Can Expect:

This role is part of a bespoke educational provision catering to secondary-aged students (Year 7 to post-16), all in the care of the local authority. The school offers:

  • Nurturing environments with small class sizes (typically no more than 4 pupils per class).
  • Specialist vocational learning spaces, designated teaching rooms, and outdoor learning opportunities.
  • A focus on professional development for all staff.

Additional Information:

  • This role does not offer sponsorship, so candidates must have the right to work in the UK.
  • A school tour is highly encouraged as part of the interview process.

Please note that this role is subject to an enhanced DBS check and suitable employment references. The client reserves the right to close the vacancy early if a significant number of suitable applications are received.
