Through education, we enable young people to gain the skills and resilience needed to succeed in life beyond school, inspiring the brightest futures. Our specialist independent schools offer unrivalled opportunities, securing strong educational outcomes with personalised, inclusive, and stimulating programmes of learning.

- Support teachers, engaging with students, providing learning support, and reacting to situations in the classroom in a positive, non-disruptive manner.
- Working 1:1 with some students, to give them the time and support they need to learn.
What we’re looking for from you:
- Experience of working with children who have behavioural support needs with a good knowledge of behavioural management techniques and strategies
- Grade C or above GCSE in English and Math, or L1/2 equivalent functional skills qualification
- Hold or be willing to work towards a recognised teaching assistant qualification
