Team Teach Trained Teaching Assistants needed - September Start

SEN School & Alternative Provision in Portsmouth!

Academics are seeking experienced Team Teach Trained Teaching Assistants to join a Special School and Alternative Provision in Portsmouth which caters for young people across KS3 - KS4, who have a range of social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH), developmental needs and/or medical needs.

They are looking for strong, empathetic Teaching Assistants who are available to join their team from September 2025 on full-time, ongoing contracts. There is the opportunity for a permanent contract if this is of interest to you.

Due to the nature of the setting, they are looking for Teaching Assistants who are Team Teach trained or equivalent such as PRICE. As you are working with young people with challenging behaviours, having completed such training, or having a willingness to carry out the training is essential.

You will be required to support pupils on a 1:1 and small group basis. This Teaching Assistant role would be suited to someone with experience of working with children with challenging behaviours in an SEN/SEMH school.

If you are a Team Teach Trained Teaching Assistant, or an experienced Teaching Assistant with restraint training and live in the Portsmouth area, please apply by sending a copy of your updated CV.
