As part of a growth strategy, The School Group is delighted to be opening a brand new SEND Secondary School in September 2025 in Chaldon, Surrey. This facility will cater for young people aged 11-16 who require support with social communication, emotional regulation, and sensory processing, typically associated with Autism. All the students have access to a broad and exciting curriculum, aligned with the national curriculum, and personalised to meet their needs, interests, and passions. Our model of small classes, high levels of classroom support, and a supernumerary multi-disciplinary intervention team is designed to give students "every opportunity to achieve." We are looking to recruit Teaching Assistants to join the team at this exciting new school. This is an incredible opportunity to join the school at the very start of its journey. You will be based at the main Chaldon site with a requirement to work out of our satellite site in Caterham when required. The purpose of the Teaching Assistant is to support the children with their learning and general wellbeing to ensure every child has the best opportunity to reach their full potential in a caring and safe environment. Where necessary this may include supporting with care needs from time to time as well as positive behaviour management adopting a tailored approach to the individual child.
