About the school
At Tettenhall Wood school we offer a specialist autistic and SEND provision that is a place of opportunity for all our learners to achieve the best of their abilities and making a valued contribution to society. We do this through aspirational teaching ensuring outstanding outcomes for each individual. We are looking to appoint outstanding teaching assistants to join our school.
What we are looking for
The successful candidate will be passionate and able to inspire learners to reach their full potential. For us, the underlying ability and attitude are more important than experience to make a great Teaching Assistant. If you have not worked in education before then please don’t be put off. We can provide all of the specialist training you need but we can't train you to be kind, to have initiative, to be friendly, to be resilient, and to be patient, and those are essential qualities for this work. We realise that the need to improve children’s lives in all aspects, especially academic, requires unique individuals, which is precisely what we are looking for. The school is preparing for an exciting new chapter and are looking for exceptional teaching assistant to help with the school’s development journey. We want individuals with a strong mindset who want to develop. In return, you will be in a school who will help you achieve, and progress in your career e.g., this year we have already created several new internal roles including an unqualified Teacher, HLTA’s and Level 3 Teaching Assistants. This gives clear progression pathways for all staff. Tettenhall Wood School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of students and expects all staff to share this commitment.
