Teaching Assistant

Teaching Assistant – Alternative Provision. Lancing Area. £100 Per Day | 8:30am – 3:30pm | September Start – Full time. Pink Tile Education are working in partnership with a specialist Provision in the Lancing area, who are seeking a resilient, proactive, and compassionate Teaching Assistant to join their team. This provision supports young people aged 5–16 who are unable to access mainstream education due to social, emotional, mental health, behavioural, or medical needs. Many pupils may have experienced challenges within education and require additional support, consistency, and positive relationship building to help them re-engage with learning. The school are looking for someone who can build strong, trusting relationships with students, remain calm under pressure, and support both academic engagement and emotional regulation throughout the school day. This role can be challenging, and pupils may at times present with verbal or physical behaviours when dysregulated. Staff must be able to remain calm, use distraction techniques, understand triggers, and build strong relationships with students by getting to know their interests, strengths, and individual personalities. Having a good understanding of mental health and the impact this can have on behaviour, learning, and emotional regulation is essential within this role.
