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.
