A specialist school in Wiltshire is looking for a proactive and caring Teaching Assistant to join their team ASAP.

The role:
* Provide individualised support for pupils with complex needs
* Assist with sensory activities, communication routines and therapeutic programmes
* Support with personal care (feeding, toileting and mobility assistance)
* Work closely with teachers and therapists to deliver tailored learning plans
* Help create a calm, structured and nurturing environment
Ideally you'll have:
* Experience in care, nursing, special education settings or working with young people
* A calm, patient and positive approach
* Confidence supporting personal care
* Teamwork skills and strong communication
* Resilience and initiative in a busy, hands-on environment

Why staff love working here:
"There is a genuine 'human' feel to the school. Colleagues are respectful of everyone's situations and there is a real focus on providing a work/life balance."
"I absolutely love my job and look forward to coming into school every day. I love the team I work with and fully trust and respect them all. They support me 100% as I do them."
This is a highly rewarding opportunity for someone who wants to make a real difference in the lives of children and young people with complex needs.
