We are currently recruiting for a Teaching Assistant to join a specialist school setting in Leicestershire , near Market Bosworth.
This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about supporting young people and wants to make a genuine difference on a daily basis. You’ll be working with pupils with additional needs, including SEMH and ASD, supporting them both in the classroom and on a 1:1 basis.
This isn’t a typical classroom role – it can be challenging at times, but also incredibly rewarding. Progress may look different here, and even small steps forward can be a big achievement. The right person will be patient, resilient and able to build strong, positive relationships with students.
What you’ll be doing:
* Supporting students in lessons and on a 1:1 basis
* Assisting the teacher with classroom activities and behaviour management
* Helping students stay engaged and focused on their learning
* Supporting students’ social and emotional development
* Creating a safe, structured and positive learning environment
What we’re looking for:
* A positive, proactive attitude and willingness to get involved
* Strong communication and teamwork skills
* Experience working with children or young people (school-based preferred but not essential)
* An interest in SEN, SEMH or supporting vulnerable learners
* Resilience and the ability to remain calm under pressure
What’s on offer:
* Salary up to £27,528
* Full-time, permanent role
* Ongoing training and development
* Supportive team environment
* Opportunity to build a long-term career in education
This is a great opportunity for someone looking to get into education or develop their experience within a specialist setting. If you’re someone who wants a role where you can genuinely make an impact, we’d love to hear from you
