Exciting Opportunity: Level 3 Teaching Assistant
For children who don’t quite fit the mainstream mould
£25,000 – £26,200 actual salary
Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 16:00
Start date: ASAP (but we’ll wait for the right person)
Let’s empower the next generation to live their best lives — by creating a space where they can actually be themselves.
Some children find mainstream school tough. Too noisy. Too fast. Too much.
You’ll be the calm in that chaos — the person who helps them believe school can work for them again.
The Role
We’re looking for a Level 3 Teaching Assistant to join a small, specialist hub built around children who need a different approach.
It’s not about ticking boxes. It’s about adapting, noticing, and helping each child make progress on their own terms.
You’ll:
* Support children 1:1 and in small groups — academically, emotionally, and socially.
* Bring lessons to life in ways that make sense for each learner.
* Work alongside teachers and the SEND team to shape individual learning plans.
* Use patience and empathy to manage behaviour and build trust.
* Keep track of progress — and celebrate every win, big or small.
You’ll fit right in if you’re:
* Fun, kind, and endlessly patient.
* Someone who listens before reacting.
* A natural team player who adapts on the go.
* The kind of person who sees potential where others see problems.
Why this job?
Because this school gets it.
You’ll be part of a team that values creativity, flexibility and genuine care — led by a Head Teacher who believes in doing what’s right for the child, not what’s easiest for the timetable.
You’ll get:
* A supportive, inclusive environment.
* Proper holidays.
* Opportunities to grow and develop.
* £25,000 – £26,200 actual salary.
* Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 16:00 — your evenings and weekends are your own.
If you believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported and understood — this is where you can make that happen.
