Hey there! Are you ready to make a real difference?

Whether you’re experienced or just keen to step into a SEN environment, this role offers a chance to impact young lives positively.

If you have personal experience with Autism, perhaps through family members, and you’re motivated to contribute positively in a similar setting, we especially want to hear from you! Plus, our school is nestled in a beautiful, leafy area of Surrey, providing a serene and therapeutic environment perfect for both learning and teaching.

• Build warm, supportive relationships with our pupils, helping them feel safe and eager to learn.
• Encourage and foster personal development and independence among the students.
• Assist our Class Teacher with the daily classroom activities and keep things running smoothly.
• Be ready to adapt to various needs of the school, which might include some physical intervention (don’t worry, we’ll train you!).
• Promote all-around growth in our students—be it cognitive, social, emotional, or physical.

• Has at least a Grade 4 in GCSE Maths and English.
• Holds or is working towards a Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant Qualification (nice to have, but not a deal-breaker).
• Has experience in a special school setting or personal experience with Autism (big plus!).
• Might have Team TEACH Training (also a plus).
• Ideally, you should be a driver due to the location of our school.

• Competitive daily rate and a clear path to a permanent role if you’re loving it here!
• Life assurance and a top-notch pension scheme.
• Discounts on the high street, car lease schemes, and a bike to work program.
• Access to our Health cash back plan to keep you feeling great.

Just apply here to get started. We’ll need to do some standard safeguarding checks, including an enhanced DBS check, to make sure everything’s good to go.

We’re all about giving our kids the best and making sure our team feels valued and supported. We’re an equal opportunities employer and we’re committed to making sure everyone feels at home here. Don’t miss out—this job posting might not stick around for long, and we’d hate for you to miss this chance!
