Are you passionate about making a lasting difference in students' lives? Do you thrive in environments where no two days are the same?

We're currently partnering with a reputable trust in Croydon, searching for dedicated Teaching Assistants ready to take on a new and rewarding challenge. This trust spans multiple sites across Croydon, providing exceptional opportunities for career advancement and ongoing professional growth.

About the Role

As a Teaching Assistant in one of Croydon's Alternative Provision (AP) schools, you'll be instrumental in supporting students who have been excluded from mainstream education. Our AP schools offer a nurturing and inclusive approach to both educational and social development, aided by a dynamic in-house therapy team. Students receive access to a range of therapeutic supports including play, music, drama, art, family, and LEGO therapy to address individual needs holistically.

Your Impact

In this role, you will work closely with students facing Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges, alongside associated behaviours that can be demanding. Many students also have co-existing needs, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, speech, language, and communication difficulties, and severe social anxieties. Your support will be critical in helping students rebuild their confidence, develop life skills, and successfully re-engage in their education.

What We're Looking For

• Experience working with SEMH and challenging behaviours in an educational, care, or support setting.
• Enhanced DBS clearance (or willingness to obtain).
• Training in physical intervention or the willingness to undergo this training.
• Commitment to full-time availability, Monday to Friday, from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a supportive team that prioritises students' emotional and educational development.
• Access to extensive training and development opportunities to enhance your skills.
• A unique environment where you can make a real, positive change in students' lives every day.
