The role & School

Are you passionate about making a real difference in children’s lives? Do you believe learning should be creative, supportive and full of opportunity? If so, we’d love to meet you!

We’re looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistant to work alongside our classroom teachers, supporting incredible young people with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, as well as other additional needs. Every day is different, every achievement is celebrated, and every child is supported to shine in their own unique way.

Our school is all about personalised learning. Each child follows their own tailored programme designed to help them thrive - academically, socially and emotionally. But it doesn’t stop there! The school are big believers in teaching essential life skills too. From their much-loved Cook & Eat programme (yes, you get a free hot meal and enjoy it with the children!) to practical, hands-on learning experiences, they create opportunities that build confidence and independence.

You’ll be joining a warm, welcoming and genuinely supportive team where staff wellbeing matters. There is ongoing CPD opportunities, celebrating success at staff awards evenings, and they make sure everyone feels valued for the incredible work they do.
