The school provides a nurturing and supportive environment focused on helping students develop academically, socially and emotionally.

As a Teaching Assistant, your role will involve supporting students both inside and outside of the classroom to help them engage positively with education and overcome barriers to learning.

• Helping maintain a safe, structured and supportive environment
• Promoting the school’s high expectations and values
• Supporting students with SEND and SEMH needs
• Assisting with safeguarding and pastoral support where required

The ideal candidate will have a calm, patient and resilient approach, with the ability to build positive relationships whilst maintaining clear boundaries and expectations.

Experience in a similar role is desirable, or previous experience working with children or young people in education, care, youth work or support settings.

The contract is initially temporary, with the potential for a permanent opportunity for the right candidate.
