£89 per day | 8:30am – 3:30pm | Term Time Only

Are you someone who finds purpose in supporting young people to thrive in education? Do you have the patience, empathy and drive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of students with special educational needs and disabilities?

We’re working with a number of inclusive and supportive schools seeking Teaching Assistants who are confident, compassionate and ready to help students achieve their full potential — both in and beyond the classroom.

About the Role:

As a Teaching Assistant, you’ll work closely with students who may have a range of needs, including autism, ADHD, speech and language difficulties, or social, emotional and mental health challenges. You’ll support learning, encourage independence and help create a positive and structured learning environment throughout the school day.

What You’ll Need:

• A calm, patient and consistent approach

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

• Ability to build positive relationships with young people and staff

• A proactive attitude and willingness to learn

• Experience supporting children or young people (in school, care, youth work or similar)

• Understanding of, or interest in, SEND and inclusive education

What we also love to see:

• Experience with specific needs such as autism, SEMH, or non-verbal communication wherever the experience is from

• Experience with young people such as youth groups, volunteering, care, clubs

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who genuinely cares about making education accessible and rewarding for every learner. Whether you’re an experienced TA or looking to build a career in education, we’d love to hear from you.
