Teach Now is excited to be recruiting a General Teaching Assistant for a vibrant and inclusive secondary school in Hillingdon. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about supporting young people and eager to build a rewarding career in education. Whether you’re an experienced TA or looking to take your first step into a school setting, this role offers the chance to make a meaningful impact every day.
About the School
This forward-thinking school prides itself on its warm, community-focused culture. Staff work collaboratively to ensure every student—across KS3, KS4, and KS5—feels valued and supported. With a dedicated SEN department, modern learning spaces, and a leadership team invested in professional development, the school provides an inspiring environment for both students and staff.
The Role
As a General Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with teachers to support classroom learning, provide one-to-one or small-group assistance, and help create an engaging and inclusive learning environment. You’ll play a key role in supporting students with varying needs, including those with SEN, and contribute to the wider life of the school.
What We’re Looking For
• A positive, proactive, and caring approach
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• A genuine interest in supporting students’ academic and personal development
• Experience with SEN or school-based support is helpful but not essential
Why This Role Stands Out
This is more than a support role—it’s a gateway to a fulfilling career in education. You’ll gain hands-on experience, continuous guidance from experienced staff, and opportunities to progress into specialised support roles or teacher training.
