We’re looking for friendly, caring, and enthusiastic Teaching Assistants to join a fantastic special needs school in Farnborough. Whether you’re ready to start now or in September, this could be a great opportunity if you enjoy helping children learn, grow, and thrive.
About the School:
This welcoming school supports children and young people from both primary and secondary age groups, all of whom have a range of additional needs. It’s a place where staff really care, and where pupils are encouraged to build their confidence, communication skills, and independence—alongside their academic learning.
The school was recently praised by Ofsted for its strong leadership, supportive staff, and the positive impact they’re making on the children’s lives.
The Role:
You’ll be working closely with teachers and other staff to support pupils in the classroom. That might include helping with learning activities, supporting behaviour and communication, or just being a steady, friendly presence throughout the day.

Someone who’s happy to support children with special educational needs
A background in support work or childcare is helpful, but not essential
Able to work across both primary and secondary age groups

A good communicator who works well with others
Available from September (depending on checks)
What You’ll Get:

The chance to be part of a friendly, supportive team
Ongoing training and development
