At Leigh Academy Bexley, we have a fantastic opportunity for a driven, experienced Teaching Assistant to join our thrive-first, highly collaborative inclusion team.
Our staff are genuinely dedicated to delivering a first-class education, and we are expanding.
With positions available across both our mainstream classrooms and our brand-new, bespoke specialist provision, we are looking for passionate educators who love working with secondary-aged students and want to help shape their futures.
No two days are the same.
Whether you are working 1-to-1, guiding small groups, or supporting a whole classroom, your presence provides the vital continuity our students need to thrive.
Reporting directly to the SENDCO, you will deliver targeted interventions that bridge the gap for our learners - ensuring they can access their education fully from both an academic and welfare perspective.
Who You Are
- Patient, empathetic, and adaptable: You know how to connect with students from all walks of life and adapt to varying needs.
- Experienced (or eager to grow): Experience delivering small-group interventions or working with young people with Autism in a specialist setting is a huge plus - but a passion for making a difference is what truly matters.
Why join us?
You won't just be assisting; you'll be a key pillar in a successful, forward-thinking support system that champions every single student.
