Teaching Assistant (Resource Provision)

We are looking to appoint two compassionate, patient and committed Teaching Assistants to join our Resource Provision team. This is a rewarding opportunity to support children with significant communication and interaction needs, helping them overcome barriers to learning and achieve their individual potential.

As a Teaching Assistant within our Resource Provision classroom, you will play an essential role in supporting pupils to develop their communication, social skills, confidence and independence. Every child’s journey is unique, and success can take many forms, whether that is using a new communication method, building positive relationships, engaging more independently in learning, or reaching a personal milestone.

Working alongside teachers, families and external professionals, you will provide tailored support that enables pupils to access learning and thrive both academically and socially. You will join a dedicated and highly supportive team that is passionate about inclusion and committed to ensuring every child feels understood, valued and successful.

This role is ideal for someone who finds fulfilment in making a meaningful difference to children's lives and understands that even the smallest steps forward can represent significant achievements.
