Description du poste

Join Southover Partnership, an independent special needs day school, supporting young people with SEMH, autism and complex needs. Work within a nurturing, attachment-informed, small-school environment. Make a meaningful difference by inspiring students, promoting positive behaviour, and helping learners rebuild confidence and achieve personal, social, and academic success.

Description

Be the Difference. Change a Young Person's Future.

Are you passionate about helping young people overcome barriers and achieve more than they ever thought possible? Do you want a career where every day brings purpose, challenge and the opportunity to make a lasting impact?

At Southover Partnership School, we're looking for exceptional Teaching Assistants who are committed, caring and ready to help transform lives.

Our students have often experienced disrupted educational journeys and need adults who believe in them, champion their potential, and support them to thrive. As a Teaching Assistant, you'll play a vital role in building confidence, encouraging independence, and helping students achieve success both in and beyond the classroom.

This is far more than a support role. You'll be a mentor, motivator, role model and advocate, helping students develop the skills, resilience and self-belief they need for the future.

No two days are ever the same. One moment you'll be supporting learning in the classroom, the next you'll be celebrating a breakthrough, helping a student overcome a challenge, or witnessing a young person succeed in ways they never thought possible.

If you're energetic, resilient, compassionate and driven by the desire to make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.

At Southover, relationships are at the heart of everything we do. We foster a culture of high expectations, kindness and teamwork, where staff are valued, supported and encouraged to grow professionally.

The Southover Partnership is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We put children and their families at the centre of everything we do, operating with dignity and respect whilst working collaboratively as one organisation. All staff are expected to share this commitment and uphold our values of Trust, Believe, Achieve.

We Are Looking For

• A Teaching Assistant who wants to make a genuine and lasting difference
• A positive, enthusiastic and resilient individual
• Someone who can build strong, trusting relationships with young people
• A creative thinker who can adapt to meet individual needs
• A team player who thrives in a collaborative environment
• Someone who believes that every young person can succeed with the right support
• A passionate advocate for inclusion, wellbeing and achievement

What We Offer

• A warm, welcoming and supportive school community where staff wellbeing matters
• The opportunity to change lives and see the impact of your work every day
• Outstanding professional development and career progression opportunities
• A collaborative and highly supportive team of colleagues
• Small class sizes and a relational approach to education
• A rewarding role where no two days are the same
• Students who will challenge, inspire and surprise you with what they can achieve
• The chance to be part of a school committed to helping every young person succeed

Join Southover and become part of a team that doesn't just educate young people, but helps them rediscover confidence, ambition and a brighter future.
