We are seeking a compassionate, adaptable, and proactive Teaching Assistant to join our dedicated team. Your role will be to support pupils across our KS3 Centre in Hertford & our KS4 in Hoddesdon (individually and in small groups), helping them access learning, regulate behaviour, and develop strategies to manage social and emotional challenges. This role may involve supporting our pupils at offsite AP provisions such as HRC or Harlow College. Travel expenses will be paid.
You will work closely with teachers, pastoral staff, and external agencies to ensure every pupil receives consistent, high-quality support. This role is ideal for dedicated professionals who have a passion for supporting young people who face difficulties in mainstream education.
Supporting our young people who have been through challenging times is rewarding as we see them develop and succeed in reaching their full potential, gaining educational outcomes, and returning to mainstream wherever possible. There is a high staff to pupil ratio - classes are small (max of 5 pupils).
We offer a supportive management team with “an open door SLT”, Rights to Disconnect policy, and offer opportunities for staff to effect real change and grow professionally. Rivers ESC works with a varied cohort of pupils including children classed as missing education, permanently excluded from mainstream schools, and many of the pupils have social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD).
