Teaching Assisant in Horsham

Teaching Assistant – SEND Team – Horsham – January 2026 Start

Pink Tile Education is delighted to be supporting a thriving secondary school in Horsham in their search for a dedicated Teaching Assistant to join their SEND team from January 2026. This is a full‑time, long‑term role with the opportunity to transition to a temp‑to‑perm contract for the right candidate.

Working as part of the SEND team, you’ll play a key role in helping students with additional needs access learning, build confidence and achieve their potential. You’ll work closely with class teachers, SENCOs, and specialist staff, adapting support to suit individual learners and promoting independence wherever possible. No two days will be the same — you might find yourself supporting in class, delivering small‑group interventions, or helping a student regulate emotions and re‑engage in their learning.
