About this role
We are seeking to appoint an energetic, creative, and enthusiastic individual to join our Achievement for All team in the role of Teaching Assistant. The role involves working with students aged 11–18, including those with additional needs, supporting teaching and learning both within the classroom and through targeted small group and one-to-one interventions.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is passionate about making a positive difference, contributing to the development of young people, and supporting them to become confident, respectful, independent, and resilient individuals.
We are looking for a candidate who:
- Is empathetic and able to build strong relationships, establishing trust and rapport with students, staff, and parents.
- Acts as a positive role model and is confident in challenging expectations while contributing effectively as part of an established team of education professionals.
- Is a confident and effective communicator with both adults and young people.
- Has high standards of numeracy and literacy and can inspire and motivate students to achieve their full potential.
While previous experience in an educational setting would be advantageous, it is not essential. We welcome applications from individuals who demonstrate high personal standards, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for working with young people of all needs and abilities.
This role would be particularly well suited to individuals considering a career in teaching, as the Trust offers strong professional development pathways, including access to its own teacher training school.
