At The Netherhall School and The Oakes College, our Teaching Assistants are known as Learning Link Mentors (LLMs). The title reflects the wider, relational nature of the role. LLMs are not simply classroom support staff, but trusted adults who help create the link between the learner, their curriculum, their family and the wider school community. They support students to develop confidence, independence and engagement with learning through mentoring, check-ins, responsive support and structured interventions, while working closely with teaching staff, families and the Inclusion Team. The role may also include supporting intervention programmes, preparing resources, recording and sharing relevant information, and completing agreed administrative tasks that contribute to the effective running of the Inclusion Faculty. Vibrant working environment Our central belief is that great schools recruit and retain great teachers and leaders. You will be joining an ambitious, vibrant and supportive working environment. You will be working with outstanding colleagues who are passionate about their subject specialism and pedagogy, who show extraordinary commitment and dedication to the young people in their care, and who are hugely supportive of each other.
We are seeking enthusiastic, motivated and compassionate individuals to join our Inclusion Faculty - a therapeutic and evolving provision focused on supporting the diverse and ever-changing needs of our learners. This is an exciting time to join us as we continue to develop innovative approaches that remove barriers to learning, nurture emotional well-being and unlock each student's potential. If you have practical skills or relevant qualifications, whether in creative arts, vocational training, outdoor learning or therapeutic approaches, we would welcome the opportunity to grow our offer with you. Applicants will also be required to support the Inclusion Faculty with a range of administrative tasks.
