Those Huge Small Victories
Our Teaching Assistants are fulfilled by making even the smallest positive changes in our young people. We celebrate these small wins, which we call "huge small victories." While they may seem minor, they collectively make a significant difference.
Get out what you put in
You will work with children and young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Your role is to support their learning, development, and self-esteem. Resilience and dedication are essential, and the small victories you achieve will be a source of pride.
It can be a challenging journey, but the positive progress will be rewarding. As a Teaching Assistant at Witherslack Group, you'll receive support from colleagues, well-resourced environments, and guidance to help you build a rewarding career in education.

This exciting opportunity serves Walsall and surrounding communities, with a focus on delivering outstanding educational experiences tailored to individual pupils' progress and care.
