This isn't your average Teaching Assistant role. You'll be joining a forward-thinking, inclusive setting that's dedicated to empowering children and young people with complex learning needs. You'll become part of a vibrant, compassionate team that truly celebrates individuality - and believes every child deserves to thrive.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Supporting students with a wide range of additional needs, including autism, speech and language difficulties, and physical or sensory challenges

• Working closely with teachers and therapists to create engaging, accessible learning experiences

• Helping pupils build confidence, communication skills, and independence

• Using creativity, positivity, and patience to turn challenges into achievements

• Contributing to a nurturing, joyful school environment where every success - big or small - is celebrated

What We're Looking For:

• A genuine passion for supporting children with special educational needs

• Resilience, adaptability, and a proactive attitude

• Team spirit and excellent communication skills

• Experience in SEN settings is a bonus - but if you're caring, curious, and eager to learn, we'll support you every step of the way

Why You'll Love It Here:

• Work that's meaningful and deeply rewarding

• Ongoing training and career development opportunities

• A warm, welcoming team that supports each other

• A beautiful, purpose-built environment designed with the needs of pupils at its heart

• The chance to make a lasting impact in the lives of extraordinary young people

If you believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued - and you want a role where you'll grow just as much as the pupils do - this could be the perfect fit.
