Candidates must have Full UK Driving Licence and access to a vehicle to get to work

As part of our continued growth, we now have a fantastic opportunity for a Teaching Assistant to join our close-knit team at Underley Garden School, part of Options Autism.

About The Role

Enjoy a rewarding education career and have a real impact on pupils lives. Join an amazing team creating supportive, nurturing environments where our pupils achieve far more than they ever expected.

As a Teaching Assistant, you will connect directly with the brilliant students we support, helping to make sure they get the very best from their education. Each individual has a diagnosis of Autism and may have additional needs. They have so much potential, and they will rely on you to guide their learning journeys bespoke to them.

You will help prepare learning materials and run classroom activities, with plenty of hands-on experience and providing close supervision of the pupils. You will take responsibility for their emotional and physical needs, supporting them to develop as individuals and engage with the world.

Every day will be different, but you will have all the support you need, with lots of skills and experience to draw on along with valuable advice and guidance too.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for passionate staff who want to support pupils with a variety of complex needs such as Autism, SEMH, ADHD, pupils who are speaking and non-speaking as well as pupils with Communicational difficulties and more. As part of your role you may be required to undertake personal care duties such as feeding and toileting to support our students.

We warmly welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of their age, religion, gender identity or expression, race, disability or sexual orientation, and are committed to promoting diversity, and equality of opportunity.

We would love to hear from candidates who are enthusiastic, warm and want to make a positive impact on our pupils lives. Experience is desirable, however not a necessity to join our team. If you come from hospitality, the army, outdoor activity centres or an office-based job but are eager to help pupils to live happy, fulfilling lives, this is the role for you. We will provide you with full training and development to succeed within your role.

Successful candidates need to be adaptable and ready to work in a variety of classroom roles, both indoors and outside according to individual need. Taking a responsive and caring approach, you may be running classroom activities, leading outdoor experiences or supervising pupils as they explore further afield.

Our schools are built on great teamwork and mutual support. If you enjoy working as part of a dedicated team, sharing knowledge, experience and learning, simply fill in our safeguarding-compliant application form and a member of our team will be in touch.
