Are you passionate about education and driven to make a real difference in young lives?

We are seeking a committed and compassionate Teaching Assistant to join our dynamic team within our Key Stage 4 Elevate setting, an internal alternative provision designed to support students who benefit from a more tailored and inclusive approach to education.

• Assist in the planning and delivery of learning activities under teacher guidance
• Support students with special educational needs and help manage behaviour positively
• Promote engagement, self-esteem, and independence among learners
• Work collaboratively with staff, parents/carers, and external agencies as needed

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience working with young people, particularly those with additional needs or barriers to learning
• A patient, empathetic, and resilient approach
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• A team player who is flexible and proactive
• A commitment to safeguarding and the well-being of all students

Why Join Us?
