Job Description:

Be a Founding Force: SEN Teaching Assistant. Location: Chaldon, Surrey (Near Redhill/Caterham/Whyteleafe). Most schools ask you to follow a path. We're asking you to help us build one. Having opened our doors in September 2025, our brand-new Secondary SEN school is looking for its founding team of Teaching Assistants-individuals who want to do more than "support" a classroom, but actually help define the heart and soul of a new educational community. The Role: Beyond the Classroom. This isn't your typical school environment. You'll be working with students aged 11-16 who have unique profiles related to social communication, emotional regulation, and sensory processing. Your day-to-day involves working within a highly specialised, multi-disciplinary model. You won't be alone; you'll collaborate with therapists and specialists to ensure our students feel safe, understood, and empowered to learn.

Job Responsibility:

Helping students navigate learning and social development in a high-support, low-stress environment
Using a tailored, empathetic approach to behaviour, focusing on de-escalation and building long-term independence
Working hand-in-hand with teachers to adjust resources and activities so they meet the specific sensory and cognitive needs of each pupil
Maintaining a proactive "eyes-on" approach to pupil welfare and wellbeing

Requirements:

GCSE Maths and English Grade 4/C (or equivalent)
Resilient, adaptable, and genuinely empathetic
Should be someone who stays calm in a storm and looks for the "why" behind challenging behaviours
A solid grasp of Safeguarding principles (though we will provide extensive ongoing training)

Nice to have:

Any experience in SEND, youth work, or inclusive settings

What we offer:

Fully funded training and qualifications
Enhanced pension scheme
Life assurance
Health Cash Back Plan (money back for dental, optical, and physio)
Employee Assistance Programme
Perkbox high street discounts
Bike to Work scheme
Optional Car Lease scheme
Free on-site parking
