Job description

Teaching Assistant - Independent School - Yateley

Are you ready to support young minds in an extraordinary environment?

This is not your average school. We are an Independent School for boys and girls aged between five and nineteen. Our mission is to create a learning experience where students are empowered to push the limits of their own possibilities. Whether they're discovering new academic passions, exploring creative arts, or excelling in sports, we believe that every child has a unique potential-and we're committed to helping them unlock it.

The Role

We are looking for a dynamic, compassionate, and forward-thinking Teaching Assistant to join our team. This isn't just about supporting lessons—it's about becoming an integral part of a community where each child is seen as an individual with distinct strengths and aspirations. You'll work closely with dedicated teachers, provide tailored support to students, and help maintain an inclusive and stimulating environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Providing individual and small group support to students in both academic and co‑curricular activities.
• Assisting teachers in planning and delivering engaging lessons.
• Supporting the well‑being and development of each student.
• Encouraging student independence, resilience, and confidence.
• Contributing to the school's ethos of excellence and innovation.

What We're Looking For

• A genuine passion for education and a belief in the potential of every child.
• Experience working with children or young adults in an educational setting.
• Flexibility and creativity in supporting diverse learning styles and needs.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• A positive and proactive approach to problem‑solving.
• Previous experience in SEN (Special Educational Needs) support is highly desirable.
• You will need to have the right to work in the UK as we cannot offer sponsorship.

Why Join Us?

• Work in a nurturing and vibrant environment where no two days are the same.
• Collaborate with a team that values innovation, individuality, and academic excellence.
• Contribute to a school that truly supports students to become confident, capable, and curious individuals.

Hours: 08h30 to 15h30 Term Time only
