Transport jobs in United Kingdom

We're looking for Teaching Assistants who bring heart, patience, curiosity, and resilience. People who understand that relationships are the foundation of progress, who remain steady when things feel difficult, who see the child behind the behaviour, and who treat every new day as a fresh opportunity to grow. Being a Teaching Assistant at Red Moor is far more than being an extra adult in the classroom. You become a trusted presence – someone who helps create moments of safety, connection, and success for pupils who may not have always felt secure in education. You'll work closely with teachers and colleagues to create calm, structured, and meaningful learning experiences. Your role will be varied, rewarding, and impactful, supporting pupils both academically and emotionally throughout the school day.

• Support pupils one-to-one and in small groups across a range of subjects and activities
• Help implement personalised timetables, behaviour plans, and therapeutic approaches
• Build strong, trusting relationships that support pupils' social and emotional development
• Prepare resources and activities that bring learning to life
• Support pupils during educational visits, off‑site activities, and enrichment opportunities
• Maintain clear and accurate records that contribute to each pupil's wider support plan
• Support pupil transport for bespoke provision or planned off‑site activities

• Has GCSE Grade C/4 or above (or equivalent) in English and Maths
• Brings a calm, consistent, and caring approach, especially during moments of challenge
• Enjoys working with young people and believes education should adapt around individual needs
• Builds positive, respectful relationships with pupils and colleagues
• Works well as part of a supportive team, while also using initiative and good judgement
• Believes in potential, not labels, and doesn't give up when things get tough
