Description
Are you caring, patient, and driven to make a real difference to young people’s lives? We’re looking for someone just like you to join our team as a Learning Support Teaching Assistant, based in Radstock (Somer Valley Campus), to support FE-age students with autism and learning disabilities in our specialist provision (the Wellow/SEND Centre), and also across wider college settings including construction, mechanics and animal care.
What the role involves
Working closely with learners in our Wellow Centre where there is specialist SEND provision, helping them with everyday learning, communication, personal development and life skills.
Supporting students in practical/vocational courses: construction, mechanics, animal care — helping make the hands-on learning safe, accessible and engaging.
Being part of a team that values inclusion, respect, listening and individual progress.
Starting ASAP, initially through a 16-week settling-in period, and moving to permanent employment once settled.
Full-time or four days per week; shifts are either 8:30am-3:30pm or 8:30am-4:30pm.
Pay: £13.70 per hour.
What makes this a special place to work
The specialist learning pathways here are tailored for those with moderate to complex needs, including structured day-to-day support, life skills, communication support and work towards their EHCP goals.
The Wellow SEND Centre is well equipped with adapted facilities (sensory spaces, wet room, changing facilities etc.) in a setting committed to making every student feel safe, respected and able to grow.
In the most recent Ofsted inspection, the high-needs provision (including for students with autism and learning disabilities) was judged Good, with positive comments about the behaviour and attitudes of learners.
The campus is in a beautiful rural setting, accessible from Radstock and surrounding areas, offering a welcoming, inclusive culture.

Who we hope you are
You don’t need lots of formal experience. What matters most is your personality, values, and what brings you into this role:
Someone compassionate, reliable and flexible, with a genuine desire to support vulnerable young people.
A good communicator who can adapt to different learners and learning styles.
Motivated by helping others, by seeing progress, and by working as part of a caring team.
Perhaps a graduate, youth worker, coach, support worker, sports coach or previous teaching assistant, looking for meaningful work.
If you live locally around Radstock, Midsomer Norton, Bath, or surrounding villages, this could be a great chance to do work that matters, in a job you can really grow with.
Apply today to be considered for this role.
