Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Cheltenham Bournside School as a Graduate Programme Teaching Assistant. We are looking to appoint a Teaching Assistant to work within our Special Educational Needs Department, supporting the effective operation of the SEND provision on a day-to-day basis in school. Graduates in Maths, English, or Science would be desirable, although other subject specialists will be considered. Teaching Assistants play a vital role in our SEND support and provision as part of the SEND Team, led by the SENDCO and the SEND Lead Practitioner. Responsibilities include supporting students through 1:1 interventions, small group work, and main classroom support.

This opportunity is specifically aimed at recent graduates considering a career in teaching. We are founder members of the Gloucestershire Initial Teacher Education Partnership (GITEP), rated by OFSTED as “Outstanding”. We provide tailored support to help with your application to GITEP and your career development. The Graduate programme includes in-house training, observational visits, coaching, and additional CPD activities depending on your specialist areas. Starting with us does not commit you to a teaching career, but it offers a valuable opportunity to explore this path.

Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. This position is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
