Teaching Assistant (Alternative Provision)

We are looking for a resilient, compassionate, and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join the secondary team within a supportive alternative provision setting in Crawley. This is a fantastic opportunity to work with secondary-aged students who have experienced barriers within mainstream education and need a different approach to help them re-engage, rebuild confidence, and achieve their potential. The students you will support may have SEMH needs, including challenges around emotional regulation, anxiety, mental health, low self-esteem, and managing relationships. Some students may display challenging behaviour, test boundaries, or find it difficult to build trust with adults due to previous experiences. The successful candidate will understand that strong relationships take time and will be committed to providing a consistent, patient, and positive approach. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with young people, building meaningful connections, and helping students recognise their strengths and abilities.
