Teaching Assistant – Full-Time Permanent– September Start – Dorking
Salary: £21,000 - £30,000 per annum
As a Teaching Assistant, you already understand the vital support and encouragement you provide students daily. Working with children with Autism and SEMH takes this role to an even more meaningful level, where your patience, adaptability, and commitment can have a profound personal impact on each individual.
This is a unique Specialist School in east Surrey, designed specifically to meet the needs of children with Autism and SEMH. From the moment you step inside, it is clear that every element of the school has been carefully considered to create a nurturing and structured learning environment.
Teaching Assistants often face challenges with resources and support in specialist settings. This school understands those challenges and has designed its environment to ensure both staff and students have the tools they need to succeed:
1. Small class sizes creating excellent staff-to-student ratios
2. New facilities and the very best classroom resources
3. Superb teachers and therapists working alongside you
4. Outdoor learning area, including heated swimming pool and a forest school model
At the heart of every exceptional specialist school is a passionate, inspiring, and supportive leader. The headteacher at this school is a wonderful example of these attributes and works closely with his teams of specialist teachers, therapists, and support staff, ensuring they have everything they need to deliver at the highest level.
Supporting students in a specialist environment is much more than assisting in the classroom. You are building trust, providing stability, and helping develop the confidence, independence, and resilience to shape their future.
As a Teaching Assistant, you can work closely with each student, adapting your approach to meet their individual needs. Your role goes beyond academic support—you will be a key part of their journey, helping them navigate challenges and celebrate achievements in a setting designed for their success.
The school provides the best possible education for those who need it most. However, it also wants to provide the best career options for those who have committed themselves to working with it.
