Ready to make a real difference every day? At Park School, you'll help children and young people with Autism and additional learning needs unlock their potential, build confidence and achieve things they never thought possible.

As a Teaching Assistant, you'll be far more than classroom support. You'll be a positive role model, trusted mentor and everyday champion, helping students overcome challenges, celebrate successes and develop the skills they need to thrive both in school and beyond.

Whether you're experienced in education or coming from a background in care, youth work or support services, we'll provide the training, guidance and development opportunities you need to build a rewarding career. If you're passionate about helping young people grow in confidence, gain independence and achieve their goals, we'd love to hear from you.
