Crowborough | Full-Time | Term Time Only
Are you ready to step into a role where every single day counts? Where your support, kindness, and creativity will help transform lives? If you’re looking for more than just a job — if you’re ready for purpose, passion, and possibility — then we want to hear from you.
This isn’t your average Teaching Assistant role. You’ll be joining a forward-thinking, inclusive setting that’s dedicated to empowering children and young people with complex learning needs. You’ll become part of a vibrant, compassionate team that truly celebrates individuality — and believes every child deserves to thrive.
✨ What You’ll Be Doing:
-
Supporting students with a wide range of additional needs, including autism, speech and language difficulties, and physical or sensory challenges
-
Working closely with teachers and therapists to create engaging, accessible learning experiences
-
Helping pupils build confidence, communication skills, and independence
-
Using creativity, positivity, and patience to turn challenges into achievements
-
Contributing to a nurturing, joyful school environment where every success — big or small — is celebrated
What We’re Looking For:
-
A genuine passion for supporting children with special educational needs
-
Resilience, adaptability, and a proactive attitude
-
Team spirit and excellent communication skills
-
Experience in SEN settings is a bonus — but if you’re caring, curious, and eager to learn, we’ll support you every step of the way
Why You’ll Love It Here:
-
Work that’s meaningful and deeply rewarding
-
Ongoing training and career development opportunities
-
A warm, welcoming team that supports each other
-
A beautiful, purpose-built environment designed with the needs of pupils at its heart
-
The chance to make a lasting impact in the lives of extraordinary young people
If you believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued — and you want a role where you’ll grow just as much as the pupils do — this could be the perfect fit.
