Our Teaching Assistants are vital in ensuring each student reaches their full potential. Each TA does this by developing positive working relationships with our students, understanding their likes, dislikes, and interests so that all lessons are personalized for each student.
Working at Portfield School is unbelievably rewarding, and we guarantee that no two days will be the same. This does come with some challenges which may be both physically and emotionally demanding at times. You will not be alone! Ongoing support will always be available from your team members, line manager, Leadership team, mental Health First Aiders, or our Employee Assistance programme.
We love celebrating all the amazing achievements here at school, whether it’s painting a picture, trying a new food, correctly answering a maths equation, or having a short conversation with someone new, all on the same day with equal joy. We want the feel-good factor all the time!
