About the Role
Looking for a career where your patience, positivity and encouragement can make a real difference to a young person's life? At Hambrook School, we're looking for a caring, enthusiastic and dedicated Teaching Assistant to join our supportive team and help students with autism and additional needs discover their strengths, build confidence and achieve their potential.
This is more than helping in the classroom. It's about being someone who believes in a young person, celebrates their achievements and encourages them to take that next step, even when things feel challenging. Every day will bring something different. You might be helping a student overcome a barrier to learning, supporting an exciting outdoor activity or encouraging them to develop the confidence and independence to try something new. You'll work closely with teachers and colleagues to create a safe environment.
