SEND Teaching Assistant – Secondary Phase Full-Time, Permanent | Mole Valley, Surrey Start Date: September 2025 Salary: £21,000 – £30,000 per annum (depending on experience) Be the Person Who Makes School Make Sense For some young people, school has never been a place of success or safety. They’ve felt overwhelmed, misunderstood, or simply left behind. But everything can change with the right environment and people around them. That’s where you come in. A School Where Every Interaction Matters This new specialist school in the heart of the Surrey countryside has been purposefully designed to support children with autism, ADHD, and associated social, emotional, and mental health needs. Here, learning is personalised, therapeutic, and meaningful—focusing on what each pupil can do, not what they can’t. Class sizes are small (typically 6–8 pupils), with a skilled SEN Teacher and Teaching Assistant working as a team to ensure every child receives the support they need to thrive. As a TA, you’ll play a vital role in building trust, developing confidence, and helping young people reconnect with learning—many for the very first time. What You Can Expect: A calm, nurturing setting designed for success—for both pupils and staff A brand-new campus with specialist spaces, including a multi-sports hall, forest school, theatre room, and dedicated therapy suites A structured, fully integrated therapeutic approach that supports well-being as much as academic progress Opportunities to work closely with therapists, SEN professionals, and a supportive leadership team Real, meaningful progress—whether that’s a pupil answering a question for the first time or walking through the school gates with a smile Who You Are: You might already have experience supporting children or young people with SEND, or perhaps you’ve worked in youth services, care, or a pastoral role and are looking to take the next step. Most importantly, you’re calm, patient, resilient—and believe every pupil deserves to feel safe and successful at school. If you’re compassionate, curious, and ready to learn, we’ll provide the training, mentoring, and support you need to make a real impact from day one. Your Impact Will Last a Lifetime This isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to be part of a team that’s changing lives, one child at a time.
