KS3/4 SEN Teaching Assistant

FULL TIME, UNTIL JULY 2026 - STARTING IMMEDIATELY

We have worked with this Headteacher for several years now and they have a particular interest in securing the services of an enthusiastic graduate for this particular position. There is lots of training available for the successful position and our SLT run regular CPD for all staff. This role would be ideal for someone considering teacher training for September 2026. The role of a TA is much more "all encompassing" and you will provide some academic support, some 1:1 mentoring, and some "crisis intervention" to support students who need intervention. This is a full time role and will run until July 2026.

Standards are high and the young people in the school are supported from day one with a uniform approach by teachers and support staff, and a calm, positive environment is noticed from the moment you enter the school. Our client enjoys a strong reputation inside the ASC and ADHD domain, and the Headteacher is extremely proud of the standards they set.

The school has recently opened a small holding and is currently developing an agriculture / horticulture / animal care course, and as such has fantastic facilities to offer. If you have a particular interest in the outdoors, as either a hobby or a profession, this school could be a perfect place for you to offer something back to the young people of the community whilst focusing on activities outside of the classroom.
