This role is ideal for candidates with experience in care, support work, healthcare, or residential settings who are looking to move into education.

The school supports pupils aged 4–19 with a range of additional needs, including Autism (ASC), Severe Learning Disabilities (SLD), Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD), and complex needs. As a Teaching Assistant, you'll support pupils with their learning, communication, independence, and personal care where required.

The school offers excellent training, supportive staff, specialist facilities, and opportunities for permanent employment for successful candidates.

We're looking for candidates who have:
• Experience in a care, support, healthcare, or SEND setting (preferred)
• Experience supporting individuals with autism or additional needs
• A willingness to provide personal care
• PECS, Makaton, moving and handling, or hoisting experience (desirable)
• A caring, proactive, and reliable approach

This is a rewarding opportunity to use your care experience to make a real difference in the lives of children and young people with SEND.
