Teaching Assistant - Kickstart Your Meaningful Career!

Earn up to £25,553 FTE + £1,000 Retention Bonus

Are you ready to make a real difference? Whether you're starting your career or looking for something new, this Teaching Assistant role at a specialist school and college could be your perfect opportunity to do something that truly matters!

Why This Role Stands Out:

This isn't your average classroom job. You'll be supporting students aged 5-19 with unique learning needs, including communication difficulties and complex behaviours. You'll play a key part in helping them access therapy-based education, build life skills, and grow toward independence.

This is more than just a job-it's your chance to make a real impact while learning specialised skills that will set you apart in education.

Why You'll Love Working Here:

• Fully-funded Teaching Assistant qualification - Earn while you learn!
• £1,000 Retention Bonus paid in instalments (1 month, 1 year, 18 months)
• Free lunch during term time, plus free on-site parking
• Specialised training in behaviour support and more
• Access to life assurance, medical cash plan, and 24/7 employee assistance for well-being
• Opportunities to grow into Senior and Higher-Level TA roles
• Work-life balance - no weekends or evenings!

Your Schedule:

Full-time (36 hours/week) or part-time (minimum 3 days):

• Monday: 8:30am - 4:00pm
• Tuesday to Thursday: 8:30am - 4:15pm
• Friday: 8:30am - 3:45pm

Who They're Looking For:

If you're empathetic, patient, and eager to learn, you're exactly who we need! No previous experience required, just a positive attitude and a passion for helping others.

What you'll bring:

• Strong communication skills
• Ability to adapt and stay calm under pressure
• Basic literacy and numeracy skills
• A team-player mentality and willingness to make a difference

Salary Details:

Starting salaries between £18,469 to £19,206 (term time), with room to grow into senior positions earning up to £21,917.
