About the Role
As a Teaching Assistant, you will support pupils with additional needs, including those with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or behavioural difficulties. Your role is vital in creating a safe, structured, and positive learning environment. By using your Team Teach skills, you’ll manage and de-escalate challenging behaviour, ensuring that all pupils feel secure and supported.
Working closely with teachers and staff, you’ll assist with classroom activities, provide one-to-one or small group support, and help pupils overcome barriers to learning. Your ability to build trusting relationships and act as a positive role model will inspire pupils to engage, make progress, and develop confidence.

* Competitive Pay: Rates that reflect your skills and dedication.
What We’re Looking For
* A current Team Teach qualification is essential.
* Experience supporting children or young people with additional needs.
* Resilience, patience, and a genuine passion for helping pupils succeed.
* While access to transport is beneficial, it’s not a requirement.
