Are you looking for a new role?
We are seeking highly motivated, dedicated, full-time Teaching Assistants, to support and assist our classroom Teachers, as well as promote the individual learning and progress of pupils. We are particularly interested in people who want to make a real difference to the lives of children with complex SEMH needs and who can help us to share our ethos of ‘putting the young person at the heart of what we do’.
The roles are extremely rewarding and are suited to people who love a challenge, have a ‘can-do’ attitude and a willingness to get involved. No two days are the same and neither are our pupils.
Ideally, successful candidates will possess experience of working in an education setting, however, graduates or other appropriately experienced TA’s will be considered.

We currently have approximately 40 pupils on roll and have exciting plans to expand our current provision – this really is an exciting time to join our team!
