Offer description

Inspirational Teaching Assistants are required at this very special school. Are you adaptable and able to bring out the best in our pupils with special talents, aged 2 – 19, with severe, profound, or complex needs?

Due to an increase in pupil numbers, we require Teaching Assistants to join our 'Outstanding' school. We are looking for drive, enthusiasm, and potential to join our friendly, professional, positive, and forward-looking school. This is a great opportunity to develop your career by building on your current success.

The working hours are 8:30-3:30 or 9:30-2:30, term time only, Monday to Friday.

You would be required to work at any site.

As a large special school, we have a history of promoting our TAs to Senior TAs and HLTAs. For those with a degree or working towards one, there is a career path to becoming a Teacher.

In addition to your salary, SEN allowance, and pension benefits, we offer excellent additional staff benefits including:

* Confidential staff counselling service
* A wellbeing app and platform
* A range of staff social and well-being events
* Annual flu vaccinations

Although the advert has a close date, applications may be shortlisted and interviews held sooner.

Successful candidates will either be experienced and successful Teaching Assistants who enjoy team working and taking responsibility or have worked in a Special Needs or child-based environment. Alternatively, you may have a passion for special needs and be seeking your first opportunity. You will benefit from opportunities for further professional development and career progression, as we value and support staff in all aspects of school life. The successful candidate will also have a strong commitment to inclusive principles and safeguarding children and young people.

TA positions would be based in a class team but may require covering in other classes when needed.

We hold an annual music festival for our pupils, providing them the opportunity to experience something they might not normally access. You can see it here:

Woodstock 2022 - Woodstock 2022 Festival at Five Acre Wood Schools - YouTube

Woodstock 2019 - Five Acre Wood School's 'Woodstock 2019' - Amazing Festival in a Day! (Longer Film) - YouTube

We produced our own songs and music videos, which you can watch here: - Five Acre Wood School Featuring Jack Rose - Hall Of Fame - YouTube

Five Acre Wood is committed to safeguarding all its pupils. Therefore, successful applicants will be subject to an enhanced disclosure process. In line with our safeguarding responsibilities, we will request additional employment references beyond the Kent policy of one employment and one personal reference. Additionally, as outlined in 'Keeping Children Safe in Education 2022,' we will conduct an online search for shortlisted candidates.
