Are you an experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistant or a skilled Teaching Assistant with strong primary experience, ready to take the next step?
Would you thrive in a nurturing, specialist SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) setting where no two days are the same — and every day makes a real difference?
We’re working with a unique and inspiring SEMH school, set within 15 acres of stunning grounds, designed to offer a truly therapeutic and holistic learning environment. With small class sizes, purpose-built facilities and a child-centred approach, the school supports pupils with SEMH needs through a balance of structure, care and creativity.
🌱 What We’re Looking For:

A qualified HLTA, or an experienced Primary TA who is ready to step up into a HLTA role

Strong classroom experience, ideally in KS1 or KS2
-
A calm, compassionate, and consistent approach to behaviour and emotional regulation
-
A genuine passion for inclusive, relationship-based education
-
Resilience, flexibility, and a positive mindset
Your mainstream primary experience will be a huge asset — the headteacher actively welcomes staff from mainstream settings who bring fresh energy, a love of learning, and the drive to develop new skills in a specialist environment.
🌟 Why This School?
-
Purpose-built SEMH setting with small classes and a high staff-to-pupil ratio
-
Beautiful natural environment with exceptional outdoor learning provision
-
A strong, supportive team and leadership committed to professional growth

A chance to make a tangible difference to young people’s lives every single day
